Swainson's Thrush  1

Wood Thrush  3     Saw one with Swainson's on poison ivy or Virginia Creeper
along tree trunk. Two others were heard in the woods doing their excited
whit-whit-whit! calls.

Northern Waterthrush  1     Heard the splink call in the brushy flooded area
that was once a lake, now with much black willow. It came closer with
pishing, but never came into sight. Kept low to the ground

Tennessee Warbler  10

Hooded Warbler  3

American Redstart  1

Magnolia Warbler  1

Bay-breasted Warbler  1

Chestnut-sided Warbler  2

Pine Warbler  2

Chipping Sparrow  1

Scarlet Tanager  1     Had long looks from a field at a winter male sitting
still up in an oak canopy. Green plumage with blackish wings.  I believe i
saw several more, but everything was moving through so fast and disappearing
into the trees that are still leafed out. This one seen by both of us.

Northern Cardinal  3

Rose-breasted Grosbeak  6     These were seen and heard (both the "chink"
and the "wheer" calls) mostly in a mowed area that provided good looks into
the trees. I've hardly gone a day without seeing grosbeaks in the last 2-3
weeks. The heaviest migration of them I've seen around here.
