Its certainly quietened down. Haven't had much as far as quantity or variation of species.
Spent an hr there yesterday. warbler-wise, there wasn't much. Was hoping to get some post-showers numbers, but I either got there too late or was out of luck.

saw a female redstart, some vireos and what was likely a chestnut-sided warbler (have to look at my pics to definitively ID both birds). also saw about 5 yellow warblers, lots of orioles. and quickly saw the veery that i photographed the other day. it may have been with a mate - got a really quick look at it.
 
May have seen 2 male scarlet tanagers fly by towards Woodbine Beach. It either was 2 males or I saw two male cardinals flying together. it was such a quick look that I can't verify what it was.

The treat, though? A kingbird was unabashedly putting on quite the show. he was in the middle of the southwestern tip and was hunting for bugs on the lawn. he would land on trees 10-20 feet from me and, at one point, went to get a bug 5 feet from my legs. He had zero fear or concern.
