Hi,


Took a quick pass through Dutch Gap in Chester this after about 4:30.Things 
were pretty quiet with grey skies, speeding  cars and a seemingly empty marsh. 
On my way out down the main road I caught sight of a "different" brown bird 
that seemed worth investigating. I pulled over and did a little "pisshing". Out 
of everywhere-came everyone.


I felt Like Dr. Dolittle standing there as warblers and other birds came down 
to eye level and didn't even get obscured by leaves and branches. At one time I 
had 5 different warblers in my lens view. The only birds that didn't come down 
but continued to sing were Indigo Bunting and Orchard Oriole.There was a very 
flitty Blue-grey Gnatcatcher that perched very low but flew off quicker than my 
shutter.


Here's a few images of a 15 minute burst of migration!
