I would say most places I've heard about, particularly Washtenaw, Livingston, Wayne & Oakland countys, seems  a 2 or 3.   
   Around here in particular a 4 or 5!   Haven't been up north yet to our place in Kalkaska county so don't know yet but from what I've heard, a 3 or 4!

  Now that the late shift (cuckoo's, Alder Flycatcher etc.) have arrived how would you rate this year's migration?:

  1.  Incredible, clouds of warblers and tanagers darkening the skys whenever I was out.

  2.  Excellent, large flocks of migrants in the good habitats on the peak days.

  3.  Average: Lots of good days and flocks but many quiet days too.

  4.  Poor:  A couple good mornings but not as many migrants as hoped for.

  5.  Dismal:  Maybe only one good flock, most days quiet.

  6.  Frightening:  no flocks, could only buy warblers on Amazon.com
