I spent part of the morning walking our farm again today. Not sure if it was an 
earlier start or perhaps there were even more birds around. Winds are shifting, 
so many birds may move out tonight?

Warblers today (19 spp) included ...

Nashville 2 tardy birds, including a singing male with no tail (I wondered if 
this was an impediment to migrating?)
Northern Parula 2
Yellow 1
Chestnut-sided 6-8 again
Magnolia 6-8 again including what had to be one of the prettiest males I'd ever 
seen
Black-throated Blue 1 (presumed same male singing about 300 yds from where he 
was yesterday)
Bay-breasted 2
Yellow-throated (local on territory)
Blackburnian 6-8
Black-throated Green 8-10
Blackpoll 8-10
American Redstart 10-12
Ovenbird 2
Common Yellowthroat 6-8
Mourning 2
Connecticut (heard 2 songs from one in a different area than yesterday but 
again couldn't find)
Wilson's 5+
Canada 7 (probably a high count for me in spring; 6 males and a female)
Yellow-breasted Chat 2 (locals on territory on next door farm)

Other migrants: only Swainson's Thrush today and not as many; 5 Philadelphia 
Vireos; still lots of Red-eyed Vireos; 1 Acadian Flycatcher.
