First up was a Black-and-White warbler, truly the vanguard of neo-tropical migrants, this bird signifies the coming onslaught of birds.
Other warblers seen were the Pine, Palm, Yellow-Rumped and Louisiana Waterthrush.
Another first for this year was a Green Heron, and I also saw my first Chimney Swifts also.
There were lots of Chipping Sparrows and Hermit Thrush still around. Woodpeckers included Downy, Hairy & Red-Bellied, plus the Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker and Northern Flicker.
Blue-Headed Vireo, Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, Winter Wren, and the Sparrows of Song, Swamp, Chipping, and White-Throated continued as well.
I'll stop there tomorrow as waves of migrants typically last 2-3 days and I feel there are certainly more birds, and maybe more new species, to be seen tomorrow...
