Teleworking at home today so I ate lunch outside (12:00pm).  I saw my first-of-season Palm Warblers - one yellow and one western; very actively chasing bugs in the yard along with a pair of local Phoebe's (always around) .  I also heard a Rose-breasted Grosbeak calling.  I looked around briefly for other migrants, but found no warblers or other neotrop passerines that were definite migrants.   I also saw 1 Cooper's Hawk, 2 SS Hawks, and 1 Bald Eagle.  All were probably migrants, based on their high altitude and flight path (south)

Cheers!
