I am still seeing Orange-crowned Warblers and White-throated Sparrows here in Rice County too, as well as Palm, Yellow-rumped and Nashville Warblers.
Two things which I attribute to "peak" spring migration; the arrival of numerous Mourning and Canada Warblers, and Tennessee Warblers singing from everywhere (so much so that their songs are still ringing in my ears at night when I'm trying to sleep) haven't happened here yet. I have seen both Mourning and Canada Warblers (very few), and numbers of the aforementioned warblers and sparrow are rapidly dwindling, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a huge push is still on it's way, but sometimes nature can throw us a curveball and migration passes us by in the night. Here's to hoping that doesn't happen! Good birding!
