Fred,
 It seems to me that, technically speaking, Wood Thrush, Myrtle Warbler, Ovenbird, L. Waterthrush, Scarlet Tanager, and White-throated Sparrow are all migrants.Though some may stay to breed locally, they all migrate to other areas, either for the winter or summer (in the case of the sparrow).
 Ospreys, Blue Jays, Chipping Sparrows; also migrants or partial migrants. Can you explain what you mean by not a single migrant appears on the list?

Notice that not a single migrant appears on this list.

Confined by a lingering illness to the house today, I tried to count as many 
irds as possible from that vantage point  and see what that would be. Nothing 
arth-shattering, just a good cross-section of this place and time:

lack Vulture 2
urkey Vulture 3
sprey
ald Eagle, a
ooper's Hawk
ed-shouldered Hawk (mercilessly mobbed by crows)
ourning Dove 2
owny Woodpecker
ed-bellied Woodpecker
m Crow 4-5
lue Jay
 Chickadee 3, still all adults tho' nestlings near ready to flege
 Titmouse 3
ouse Wren 
arolina Wren
 Bluebird
ood Thrush
yrtle Warbler
venbird
. Waterthrush
carlet Tanager
hipping Sparrow 3
hite-thr Sparrow (only 1 left)
 Grackle 8 fly-overs
-h Cowbird pr
 Cardinal
ouse Finch 4
m Goldfinch 10

 28 species. I've stayed up waiting for our Barred Owl but have not got him. 
otice that not a single migrant appears on this list.
lso note the absence of Robin, Mockingbird, Song Sparrow !- common elsewhere 
ut not with us.
