There were a good number of migrants moving through the trees at 
Schoolhouse Pond this morning.  Particularly good were the sunlit trees 
between the pond and the townhouses.  Highlights included a 1st fall 
Chestnut-sided Warbler and a male Red-breasted Nuthatch.  Other warblers 
included several Common Yellowthroats, an American Redstart, a Prothonatary 
Warbler, and a Northern Parula.  Also present was a Scarlet Tanager and a 
calling Rose-breasted Grosbeak (heard only).  The Trumpeter Swan continues 
and I also saw the juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron.
