There was a decent push of migrants over CI this morning in a two and a half hour stationary count.
Bobolinks (71) and Eastern Kingbirds (53) put in a solid showing and 12 species of warbler were identifiable as they flew to points north and west. Highlights included Cape May, Black-throated Blue, Wilson's and both Waterthrush. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and Baltimore Oriole were moving in small numbers as were shorebirds including Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs. Rounding out the morning were singles of American Kestrel and Osprey.
