I spent a bit of time late this morning (8 May 2010) walking around the pond at Sapsucker Woods. Things generally seemed quite birdy, but in looking at my notes, I guess I didn't really see that many birds that would be deemed migrants. I saw/heard a total of ten species of warblers, with MAGNOLIA WARBLER (1), CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (1), BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER (2), and BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (2 heard only) being the highlights for me. I also enjoyed hearing my first WOOD THRUSH, RED-EYED VIREO (5, singing on territory), and GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER of the season. The only other things that stood out to me were a single NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW foraging over the pond, and a single WILD TURKEY that followed me along the trail for a while.
Is everybody else still out birding today?
