Slower than I hoped today after last night's winds, but the 
sun never really came out.  A few birders about, and some 
new migrants: BLUE-HEADED VIREO, WOOD THRUSH, OVENBIRD, and 
SCARLET TANAGER (all seen and heard, apart from the 
Ovenbirds which were heard only).  The only other warblers I 
saw were PALM and YELLOW-RUMPED (someone else had a few 
Black-throated Green).  My full report:
