Mark Rolerson, Dyk Eusden and I were at Sandy Point on Cousin's Island in Yarmouth this morning from about 6:30 to 9:00 am. It was our first time there.

-- The number of warblers passing through toward the mainland was astounding.
Our estimates are very rough, but there could have been 2,000 or more birds, constantly flying through the brush and low trees toward the bridge and then out over the water. There were hundreds of redstarts and parulas; tens of yellow warblers and black throated green warblers; several magnolia warblers, black and white warblers and yellowthroats, one blackburnian and one wilson's warbler. There were also tens of red eyed vireos. In one binocular field of vision were four species of warbler; in another 5 red eyed vireos. It was a great morning.
