It was a very pleasant and productive morning (6:45-10:40) birding these two contiguous locations. There was an ample if not extraordinary amount of migrant activity at both locations, with 18 species of warbler, highlighted by Hooded (male, Marcy), Chestnut-sided (Marcy), Wilson's (male, Belmont - thanks to a tip from Jonathan Stocker), and Blackburnian (both). The real show-stopper though was a male SUMMER TANAGER, seen well over ~2 minutes as it moved through the middle canopy, singing sporadically. Other notable finds included Yellow-billed Cuckoo (2), Veery, Wood Thrush, Prairie Warbler and Scarlet Tanager.
