Don't call it a comeback....I've been here before

Chaos struck again with biologics, and right in the middle of migration I got handicapped for about 2 weeks.  I had to rely on nabbing some FOY birds in the yard, and it ended up being not nearly as much as I had hoped.  My goal of hitting 200 by end of May was not too be.  Once it hit I only managed a Blackpoll Warbler in the yard.  Missing out on 5-6 reported warblers.  On the 19th I decided I had to go out and at least try for a Common Gallinule and Yellow-breasted Chats at Baker.  Dipped on the Gallinule, but the Chat was very showy.  Downside, Hercules went with me and we ended up with 3 ticks a piece, 2 on me during the night, and 9 ticks found the following day on the floor in some state of dead or dying.  I didn't realized this years was seeing an explosion, or I'd have taken more precautions.  
On the morning of the 23rd I had been given green light to start wearing my contacts again, so took advantage and went to Woodland.  Nabbed both Cuckoos, a Willow Flycatcher and was surprised by a Prothonotary Warbler calling.  These got me over the 180 mark, which is the minimum I think you have to be at to get to 200 (I did manage 201 in 2019 ending May at 174, but I was at 180 on 6/2).  I decided to hit it hard on the last 2 days of the 3 day Memorial Day weekend.  I had hopes to try to get 9 breeders I was missing to get to 190.

• Acadian Flycatcher
• Alder Flycatcher
• Marsh Wren
• Sedge Wren
• Scarlet Tanager
• Wood Thrush
• Grasshopper Sparrow
• Henslow's Sparrow
• Dickcissel

I did not get Alder, as the Zoo trails were closed to the public (Why?!?), and could not find Dickcissel.  I did manage the others in addition to an Orchard Oriole at Baker, and another bird that was driving me nuts at Brooks Nature Area.  It was loud and singing a song I didn't recognize.  I almost didn't go back to the area it was at as it dead ends.  I stood there for well over 15 minutes trying to get a look at it.  It kept changing songs every few minutes.  I posted to Whatbird, and shortly after the answer was posted, but before I checked, I finally saw it.  White-eyed Vireo!!! Gave me some decent looks.  This was a heard-only bird for me previously.  
Amy Lyyski also found a couple of Chats near that area.  Also was thankful she posted to the other birders that Sedge Wrens were at Baker.  I did head the wrong way on the trail, but turned out for the better as I got to see 6 fairly newly hatched Trumpeter Swans, a Chat, and the FOY Orchard Oriole.  
I tried for Cerulean Warbler at Voorhees, but if it was there its was not vocal.  That is a tough one as that was the only spot that I've been able to see one.  Will have to see if I can't find one somewhere.  Not very many spots for them around here.  
Some other highlights since the last post are:

• late Purple Finches at Woodland on 5/10
• D DR S has almost completely disappeared as we have had little to no rain this spring.  
• May 14th brought a new Yard Bird - Lincoln's Sparrow #153
• May 27th I managed to hear Yard Bird #154 calling, luckily the heat wave was done and was able to have windows open - Black-billed Cuckoo

I managed to capture this Cooper's Hawk taking aim directly at me, when eyeballing some birds on the feeder.  Tried a little Photoshop action sequence.  

Good to see the Trumpeter Swan family at Baker.  I'm hoping the report of only 3 cygnets later in the day on the 31st was just not being able to see the others.  I only have pics of 5, but there was one that seemed to stay on the other side of an adult almost all the time.  

Lastly the Robins decided to build a nest on a large wreath that is 10 feet from my back door, on the side of the house.  We are constantly spooking up the bird off the nest.  I thought for sure the eggs were not getting enough attention.  Turns out they have at least hatched!!  Hopefully the dogs won't disturb them too much.
