We went around to the rest of the "usual haunts" and managed to see a few other birds, however. The main flight seemed to be around 7:15 am this morning and things were hopping for a while! I am sure we missed a lot but here's what was seen... Warblers: Black-and-White (~20 including one singing), Blue-winged (7), Black-throated Green (12), Black-throated Blue (1), Blackburnian (7), Blackpoll (1), Canada (7), Chestnut-sided (15-20), Magnolia (6), Redstart (10), Tennessee (1), Yellowthroat (4). Other migrants: Rose-breasted Grosbeak (2), Yellow-throated Vireo (1), Red-eyed Vireo (~15), Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (1), Wood Pewee (10), Great Crested Flycatcher (2), Scarlet Tanager (6), Baltimore Oriole (4), Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (~15), Ruby-throated Hummingbird (5), Nighthawk (1), Northern Harrier (1).
