4/21: Hazy day with some fog on the lake getting blown in the the afternoon. Temps dropped as the wind turned out of the west. Pine Warbler showed up today - singing up in the trees to my north. BW Teal also showed up, but the best bird of the day was a White Eyed Vireo! A breeder in certain locations of the southern counties in MI, this bird took me by surpise! It must have been a migratory "over-shoot" working his way back south. He did not vocalize and I only saw him for a minute or so. I turned for a couple seconds and he disappeared.
