I surveyed the Hike-Bike Trail this morning at Huntley Meadows. A few migrants 
were passing through, but I was more impressed with the number of Ovenbirds 
that have arrived. I counted 31. In contrast, I could only find 1 Acadian 
Flycatcher. Chats are once again occupying the main meadow. The totals below:
