Like others posting, I've had a delightful day with waves of migrants
passing through my wooded yard. At one point around 10AM there were so
many warblers in the trees it reminded me of birding of long ago at the
migrant traps on the south shore of Lake Ontario -- it seemed like there
were flitting birds in every tree, with many singing.
In the space of about three minutes I had several warbler species in my
binocs -- Black & White, Magnolia, multiple Black-throated Green,
multiple Tennessee, Nashville, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted. Seems like
they're all coming through at once this year, with early migrating types
moving with late migrating sorts.
Also seen were multiple Red-eyed Vireo, Catbird, and three thrushes:
Wood, Gray-cheeked and Veery, this last giving me by far the most
crippling view I've ever had of this species. It was hunting in the back
yard lawn in plain view like a robin.
