Hey everyone, 
Considering that the radar was lit up like a Christmas tree last night, the 
lack of migrants this morning was disappointing. 
New arrivals this morning included a yard full of White-throated Sparrows, an 
influx of Swamp Sparrows, a couple more Brown Thrashers and a lone Common 
Yellowthroat. I found this to be quite interesting. I've never had Common 
Yellowthroat as my second warbler species of the year before (excluding those I 
got in FL).  Interestingly, the Yellow-rumped Warblers of a few days ago seem 
to have vanished, but the Ruby-crowned Kinglets are still here.  

I also thought I might have heard a Baltimore Oriole. Still trying to figure 
out if I was dreaming or not.....

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first 
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the 
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no 
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be 
again."

(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
