Jeff Culler and I decided to spend some time at MPEA since neither one of
us have had power since Saturday night. I am working off a generator.
As others have reported, today was a very good day for migrants. Our
highlights were Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Least Flycatcher, Philadelphia
Vireo, Connecticut Warbler, and Blackburnian Warbler.
