["Jay Keller" <jlkeller999@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Birders,
For a while at Ft. C.F. Smith Park in Arlington, I thought I was at NY 
Monuments!  It was
quite good immediately following sunrise, where many migrants crowded the trees 
to the
point where I could not possibly get on everything flying around me.  In all, 
there were 6
species of warblers, including Cape May, Tennessee, and Magnolia, and both 
species of
Kinglet showed up in good numbers.  One of the Cape Mays still had chestnut 
coloring
on the side of its face, and prominent white wing patches.  The Kinglets were 
literally 
everywhere, and there were probably twice the amount of individuals present 
than I report 
here.  After 45 minutes I had to leave, but there was still a lot of activity.  
The complete 
observed list follows, which should include several warblers that were too high 
in the trees 
to ID (they looked like Pine Warblers but were silent).

Best Birding,

Jay
