On Wednesday morning I also had a lot of late migrants, at my usual quick check at Wood Lake: many Yellow-rumps, including adult males, and an Orange-crowned. But Thursday morning, the YRs were almost all gone. One other odd thing this year, for the first time I can remember, there has not been even one of the normally numerous days when there are Tennessee Warblers singing everywhere around the parks and residential areas. Could they have zoomed over while the YRs got stalled? But maybe my sample is not representative.
So far I have just seen just one pewee, and very few Red-eyed Vireos, so maybe there is still more to come....
