It seems like migrants are about to kick into high gear.
The rose-breasted grosbeaks, baltimore orioles, brown thrasher, great crested flycatcher & gray catbirds have all arrived over the last week.
We’ve had an occassional warbler as well. But today, we saw a burst of migrants.
Especially around 3:45pm, for about a half hour, we had a little flock come through. They arrive suddenly and just as quickly were gone - presumably on tgeir way further north. They were mostly in the oak trees.
Overall, for today;
Black-throated green warbler
Nashville Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Wilson’s Warbler
Black & White Warbler
Yellow-throated Vireo
Thrush, maybe a Swainson’s
Ruby-crowned kinglet
I was only able to get a few photos - the trees have really started to leaf out and the migrants were jumping around pretty quickly.
