I took a quick walk around my yard this morning and found a fair number of 
migrants. The highlight was definitely the Eastern Phoebe, which sat and bobbed 
its tail very cooperatively on a dead stump about 20 feet away from me for 
several minutes. That's another new species for my yard!

Warblers included a Black-and-white Warbler, several Black-throated Green 
Warblers, several Magnolia Warblers, at least four Myrtle Warblers and a Common 
Yellowthroat. Two or three Blue-headed Vireos were tagging along, as were a 
juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, a Northern Flicker and several Golden-crowned 
and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Black-capped Chickadees were of course numerous. 
Three American Robins (one still wearing spotty juvenile plumage) and a Ruffed 
Grouse were eating berries together. There was also a flock of sparrows, 
including seven juncos, four White-throated Sparrows, and some Song Sparrows, 
one of which was singing.
