Yikes, I included the wrong link to my checklist. Try this: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S19645491
Sorry about that.

Yesterday I took my first trip to Sears Island to look for migrants. I walked the western edge, finding a few flocks here and there - made up mostly of Black-throated Greens and Parulas. When I got to the tip of the island and cut into the woods on the blue trail, I immediately flushed a Northern Waterthrush, which seemed like a good sign. Walking a little further up the trail, I encountered a huge flock of warblers buzzing around my head like bees as they darted back and forth. In that flock alone, I had some really good diversity and numbers:Black-and-white Warbler 10
Tennessee Warbler 1
Nashville Warbler 8
Common Yellowthroat 10
Northern Parula 10
Magnolia Warbler 6
Bay-breasted Warbler 5
Blackburnian Warbler 1
Yellow Warbler 1
Chestnut-sided Warbler 4
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 2
Black-throated Green Warbler 12
I encountered several other, much smaller flocks on my walk back to the causeway, including my first migrant Blackpolls of the season, and a few other warbler species to bring my day's total to 17 species and ~120 ind. Red-eyed Vireos were also really abundant.Non-passerine highlights were pretty minimal due to the very heavy fog, but a calling Black-bellied Plover early on was nice.A fun trip to a great birding spot.Robert OstrowskiBangor, ME
