This information is provided on behalf of Talbot Bird Club Member Jan Reese.
 
The blustery winds of Nov 2 and 3 calmed on the evening of the 3rd to
provide ideal conditions for south transient birds.  The results were
phenomenal.  At sunrise the roadways were littered with kinglets, sparrows
and juncos.  In addition to these northern birds that were expected to
arrive, many late transients were present, i.e. five species of warblers,
chipping sparrows, phoebe, house wren and royal tern.   The full list of
what was seen at Tilghman between 6:15 and 8:00 a.m. is provided below.
Most were seen in the vicinity of Black Walnut Point, and the numbers for
sparrow species are probably gross underestimates.
