Rate this year's migration

[larrysvas at yahoo.com]

I would rate the migration as a 2 - 3 depending where we were birding.   Local hot spots had 14-19 warblers most days.   Also, there were many thrushes this year of all six species.   Crane Creek was very good with 24 species of warblers and many other birds too.   Black River
and Metro Beach resulted in 21 warblers, including Prairie, Ceruleans,
Hooded, Canada and several Mournings.   So, all in all, it was
excellent with 31 species of warblers noted so far this spring.   Species total is
around 200.  Other areas were average.  It was very good birding this spring.

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
