Hi all --

Generally pretty slow for migration -- not surprising given the hot muggy
conditions and unfavorable winds of the last 3 days. Only a few birds moving
just after dawn -- handful of Blue Jays, Flickers and Robins. Assume the
nocturnal migrants we saw today are primarily hold-overs. The paucity f
warblers was made up by having really nice looks at most. The biggest
surprise was a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW -- seems early.

Birds of interest:

Red-shouldered Hawk - 1
Belted Kingfisher - 1
Northern Flicker - 15+
Eastern Phoebe - 1
Eastern Wood-pewee - 3
Gray Catbird - 20-25
Brown Thrasher - 1
Wood Thrush - 1
Eastern Bluebird - 4
House Wren - 12 (the only species whose numbers increased from our last
visit)
Red-eyed Vireo - 1
Scarlet Tanager - 3
Black-and-White - 1
Black-throated Green - 2
Black-throated Blue - 1
Magnolia - 6
Nashville - 1 (really bright adult at ground level!)
American Redstart - 1
Common Yellowthroat - 8
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 1-2
Chipping Sparrow - 20
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW - 1
