Last night there was a significant flight of migrants. In the 20 minutes
from 11:30 PM I heard flying over my house 6 Veerys, 3 Gray-cheeked, 1
Bicknell's, 24 Swainson's, 7 Wood and about 10 unidentified Thrushes, their notes
masked by the rustle of leaves. There were 2 Bobolinks and numerous warblers as
well.
Today was slow with 4 Red-eyed Vireos, a Swainson's and 5 Wood Thrushes, a
Yellow, a Chestnut-sided, 3 Black-throated Blue, 4 Yellow-rumped, 5 Blackpoll
Warblers, 3 Redstarts, a Northern Waterthrush, 2 Scarlet Tanagers, 4 Bobolinks
and 2 Baltimore Orioles.
