I birded part of Sam Smith Park for an hour early this morning and found lots of new migrants. First of year birds for me were:
1 Empidonax flycatcher (almost certainly Least)
Wood Thrush
Nashville Warbler
Yellow "
Black-throated Blue "
Black-throated Green "
Black & White "
American Redstart
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Lincoln's Sparrow, and
Northern Oriole.
A few White-crowned Sparrows have joined the many White-throated Sparrows. Most of the warblers were silent, but a couple of orioles and a Brown Trasher were singing loudly.
There were probably lots more species I didn't see. I didn't have time to get to some of the better birding spots.
