Hi All,

Though I have been seeing many migrants for several weeks now, today seemed to be the very large "wave" that I had noticed. I was at the zoo this morning and had a really impressive show put on by some early warblers. Later in Patterson Park I was floored by the numbers of sparrows and thrushes heading through.
