Radar is lighting up with birds all along the Mid-Atlantic Coast once again.
Between spotty rain projected to come through later along with the
post-midnight wind shift, there could be fallouts in some places, and there
will definitely be turnover regardless.
It might not be quite as heavy as

My wife just called me outside to check out a big bird circling Five

headed off to the west. Nice year bird for the center - maybe a first ever!

the Tennesse. We had the following which Richard did not list:
Northern Parula
I opened the window wide this morning and listened intently for a few
minutes, hoping for warbler song. I heard an Ovenbird, but nothing else.
Later I heard a Yellow across the street. Then, just after 11:30, there was
a brief rain shower, lasting maybe 5 minutes. Shortly after it ended all

There was a male Mourning Warbler in Prospect Park this morning. It
was on the south side of Lookout Hill on the hillside above the

Thanks to the good work and spotting of another birder (so sorry name eludes
me) was able to see blue grosbeak. Around 7:30 am Hung out and bird
