Seems like Tuesday evening was a big migration day for us. Wednesday morning's forests were very quiet with most Catbirds, Red-eyed Vireos, Song Sparrows, Phoebes, many Bluebirds and our Kestrel family all left.
For those interested, my 2019 arrival data sheet is here.
As in past years, no Thrashers, Towhees, Hermit Thrushes or Pewees heard or seen. I positively ID'd a pair of Veerys on at least half a dozen occasions over the Spring and Summer in the same place but never heard them sing once. Not sure if this is at all typical but struck me as odd since I normally hear them along with the Wood Thrushes. Bobolinks back for the first time in a number of years along with the House Wren, also not seen or heard for a few years.
A few notable firsts this year: Blue-headed Vireo, Bay-breasted Warbler and Wilson's Warbler, all likely passing through. Indigo Bunting, as usual, very late arrival.
Cheers
