With so many migrants aloft last night, I thought that I would try the Sears Island area this morning. There were gobs of birds moving off the north end by the gate (and gobs more in the huge area of shrubs and trees lining the road to the south). There was little wind, only a gentle north breeze that turned northeast and then calmed. I focused mainly on birds that perched. The morning flight here differed in some respects from that reported at Sandy Point this morning in that apart from Yellow-rumped Warblers predominating there were lots and lots of Black-throated Blues, Parulas, and many, many vireos.
The highlight was a WHITE-EYED VIREO, which is probably a very good Waldo Co. bird and good on the mainland this far north.
