Wood Thrush (singing since 4/22)
Blue-headed Vireo

Cape May Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler

American Redstart
Ovenbird (one yesterday)
Louisiana Waterthrush (singing since 4/17 - maybe a return breeder after many
years' absence)
Scarlet Tanager
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (2 males and 2 females)

Yesterday we also had Great Crested Flycatcher, Prairie Warbler, Orchard and
Baltimore Orioles.
