I just returned from an incredible hour or so in our wet woods. The cacophony was amazing and the birds everywhere. I saw all of the birds reported earlier, many of those reported in previous days, common regulars and these new species:
Black and White Warbler Bay-breasted W. Magnolia W. Northern Parula Tenn. W. Red-eyed Vireo Veery Least Flycatcher I haven't seen such a fallout here in many years and the old thrill was surely back! Most of the above are a week or so early for us, some right on time.
