Migrant Roundup #1

I'm doing a new series of weekly posts called Migrant Roundup. They will talk about what migrants have come through the area over the past week. I'm planning to have this running until early June, and then start it up again around early August. Anyway, here's the first migrant roundup.

Migrants currently moving through are some Pine and Yellow-Rumped Warblers in lesser numbers than previous weeks, but still findable. Palm Warblers are the most common warbler around by far. Black-and-White Warblers are starting to come through in numbers. Both waterthrushes and wrens are coming through in similar numbers. Meanwhile, a few Northern Parulas are starting to come through. The phoebes seemed to have moved out. Gnatcatchers and Purple Finches are still coming through.The Blue-Headed Vireos are coming in now. Most waterfowl are moving out. Tuesday had a fallout that produced many firsts this season, including Indigo Buntings, Rose-Breasted Grosebeaks, Scarlet Tanagers, Yellow Warblers, and Northern Parulas. Nearly all of those are gone now. Overall, the next few days wont be that different, with bad winds and no storms.
