Following moderate migration on Saturday, a decent sized push of migrants happened on Monday and Tuesday, bringing in some early migrants, including a NORTHERN PARULA in an unspecified Ramble location and a BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER at the Point that was refound at the Upper Lobe, along with a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH there, which were all seen on Monday. Tuesday brought in some good birds as well, including the park's first WHITE-EYED VIREO of the season at Maintenance Meadow sticking around through today, a flyover RING-NECKED DUCK at the Reservoir, an EASTERN BLUEBIRD at the North Meadow, and a few PURPLE FINCHES in the Ramble. But trumping all of this was a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER on Wednesday afternoon, first seen at the Gill source, then subsequently briefly seen by others twice at Maintenance Meadow. Today it was seen several times at Cedar Hill and Maintenance Meadow. GREAT EGRETS and BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONS are around, and at least two BALD EAGLES were seen flying over the park on Saturday. Regular migrants at this time, with most increasing in number, include PINE, PALM, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS(not many), EASTERN PHOEBE, CHIPPING, FIELD, SAVANNAH (a few), and SWAMP SPARROWS, EASTERN TOWHEE, GOLDEN and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, BROWN THRASHER, HERMIT THRUSH, BARN (not many), NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED, and TREE SWALLOWS, and RUSTY BLACKBIRD.
