A small flock of warblers, including a Blackburnian, a Nashville, and several Yellow-rumped outside my apartment in Lansing this morning seemed to portend a busy morning for migrants, in addition to the local Blue-Winged Warbler on territory, and numerous newly-arrived Wood Thrushes also actively singing, but a loop around the Wilson Trail at Sapsucker Woods from 7:45 to 8:30 didn't produce much migrant activity at all. Many newly arrived Sapsucker Woods breeders were singing away on territory though, and that was very nice to see. My eBird checklist for Sapsucker Woods is below.
