Chris,

Although numbers have been down at Wakefield since 
hot weather returned, I haven't noticed much of a
correlation between quantity and quality. For example,
Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday were very slow yet 
produced:

Sat: 2-3 Mourning Warblers
Sun: 2 Connecticut, 1 Mourning, and 2 Wilson's Warblers
Tue: 1 Sedge Wren
 
Keep in mind that one of the Connecticuts was found 
along the creek, which is a good place to look after
it starts to warm up. I'll be surprised if nothing 
good shows up this weekend, but maybe I've just gotten 
spoiled.
 
It has apparently been slow all over based on the 
absence of reports coming in, including on the chat 
lines up north. Let's hope we get a good front real 
soon!
