Have any members in Lake or McHenry County seen ASY's yet? Only TS and BB here so far.

Hi Mary Ann
Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda had a very early ASY male March 22nd for two days. It was fed crickets and scrambled eggs then disappeared and probably didn't survive the cold. Then I received a report of an ASY male at Independence Grove Forest Preserve in Libertyville for April 9th. The warm weather due the next 2 days will probably bring in more birds but in for a cool week starting Monday. Hoping things hold off a bit longer.
