Migrants out east are sparser than in the city, but in two hours this morning, I encountered 11 species of warblers, including several Northern Parula, 1 or 2 Black-throated Green, 1 Prairie, Yellow (quite a few apparently on territory), Ovenbird (at least 5 singing), 1 Northern Waterthrush, 1 Common Yellowthroat, as well as Black-and-white, Pine, Palm, and many Yellow-rumped. Other species included Eastern Kingbird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Wood Thrush, Baltimore Oriole, and Blue-headed, Yellow-throated, and Red-eyed Vireos. Several Pectoral Sandpipers continue west of the bridge.
