Hi All,
The migration seemed to slow down a bit here on the mountain earlier this week, 
but yesterday it came to life again. I had 40 species here around the property. 
The highlight for the day was another Philadelphia Vireo, the fourth one within 
the last couple of weeks. That's unusual for this area. Below is a photo of one 
of the Swainson's Thrushes that came in to the stream. Note the yellowish eye 
ring and the light lores (the area between the bill and the eye).

The warblers that passed through were

Bay-breasted 1
Black-throated Greens 3
Cape Mays 2
Chestnut-sideds 3
Northern Parulas 2
Palm Warbler 1
Tennessee Warblers 4
Worm-eating 1
Yellow-throated 1

In addition to the Philadelphia other migrants that came through were

Blue-headed Vireo 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1
Brown Thrasher 1
Chipping Sparrows 7
Gray Catbirds 2
Indigo Buntings 3
Northern Flicker 1
Rose-breasted Grosbeak 3
Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1
Scarlet Tanagers 6
Swainson's Thrush 2
