There was a south wind last night, from SE - S - SW and therefore a few new migrants were seen this morning:  Chestnut-sided warbler,  Black & White warbler,  Black-throated blue warbler and Ovenbird.  The temp at 7 a.m. was 8-degrees in fog, which quickly lifted and in a couple of hours it was 19-degrees.  Other sightings included:  Hermit thrush,  Veery,  Northern waterthrush,  Red-tailed hawk,  Cooper's hawk,  Turkey vulture,  Flickers,  Common yellowthroat,  Nashville warbler,  Myrtle warbler,  and legions of White-throated sparrows.  A few juncos still around.  Kept hearing Baltimore orioles way up in the trees, out of reach, even with a step ladder.
