I wasn't sure that the birds I saw today at lunch were more likely new migrants or holdovers from the weekend.? Given the Rock Creek report from this morning, it seems that they may have been new migrants.? Whenever they dropped in, they put on a good show in the middle of the day during the 40 minutes I had.? I had 15 species of warbler, but only RE vireo, and no tanagers, orioles, or RB grosbeaks.
