Robert and all,
Many migrants were definitely overhead last night. I heard several, including
a singing Scarlet Tanager, here in Vienna. The radar showed pretty heavy
migration.
I wish I had time to bird today! First of season Blackpoll Warbler. Heard in
the neighborhood this morning.

After traveling widely enjoying the spring migrants, I was blown away with
the diversity of warblers found in my backyard this afternoon. If you don't
realize it - now is the time to get out! Many of these are first ever to my
back yard:
Rose Breasted Grosbeak
Black-Throated Green Warbler
Hermit Thrushes
Yellow-Rumped Warblers
Common Yellowthroats
American Redstarts
And the usual suspects. I think I'll stay home and bird tomorrow.
