This morning was totally different from yesterday. The rains brought down many migrants. Sixteen species of warblers including Blue-winged, Black=throated Green, Parula, both waterthrushes singing, Wilson's and Palm. Vireos were Red-eyed, Warbling, Blue-headed. Indigo Buntings, Gnatcatchers, Swainson's Thrushes and one Gray=checked, Orioles and R B Grosbeaks, were there also. Surprisingly no flycatchers yet. The resident Cooper's Hawk had just caught something for breakfast.
