New Arrivals 4/21-4/22

Many year additions were made during migration. Here is what Thursday and Friday were like. Saturday will be listed soon, as it was bigger than both days combined.

Thursday:

#85 was a Chimney Swift seen briefly flying over Mugger's Woods. Only a few were seen before mine.
#86 was a Northern Waterthrush foraging in the evening in the Upper Lobe thanks to Ryan. Several were seen before mine.
#87 was a Blue-Headed Vireo at Turtle Pond, again thanks to Ryan. Many were seen before mine.

Friday:

This day is where the dam broke, and many FOS migrants were seen by people.

#88 was a House Wren that popped out of some shrubs at Evodia Field. Several were seen before mine.
#89 was a Prairie Warbler heard around the same time as the House Wren. Several were detected before mine.
#90 was a Yellow Warbler seen singing at The Point. A few were seen before mine.

I took a break due to the high humidity causing exhaustion, then resumed birding an hour later.
#91 was a WORM-EATING WARBLER seen in the same tree as the Yellow. Terrible looks, but key field marks were seen. Stayed all day and was the first of the season for the state.
