Hey everyone-

Got out early to Milford Mill this morning with my dad, hoping to turn up some good migrants with the passing cold front.  Things started out well, at around 7:20am, with a PHILADELPHIA VIREO near the beginning of the path, but that was the only real highlight, though a NASHVILLE was nice.  There were good numbers of warblers, but not a fantastic diversity (although there were some yellow-green guys high in the tops of trees that I couldn't make out).

Also, my dad saw one Blackburnian Warbler, but I wasn't lucky enough to get on it.

Good birding,
