It was snowing yesterday while its close to freezing today too. Snow and freezing temps in May are pretty unprecedented. Perhaps this plays a role in moving birds at least locally, up and down vertically, and outside of radar range. We did some hiking yesterday along a river in the snow (the Housatonic in NW CT), not really looking for warblers, just hiking, but we got very close (10-20ft) proximity to many different types, 4 new species for me and were able to ID them without optics but with cellphone photos.
