Yes, no doubt timing affects abundance from year to year, but these
observations are still valuable.
And yup, to my occasionally observant eye, the abundance of yellowthroats
seems usual down here.

Subject: [NatureNS] Birds on the move
As a casual observation from Lunenburg County, I've noticed that over the
past two weeks birds have gone from territory to moving slightly to gone
altogether at most locations. So birds have started moving in migration.
Especially the woods warblers, veeries and blue-headed vireos. This was
especially obvious from Walden, through to Woodstock, and into Mahone Bay
and at the Fauxburg Trail. Hermit thrushes, Eastern Wood Pewees and
Red-eyed vireos still seem to be strongly on territory and there are still a
few warblers who likely are late nesters on territory yet. One common
yellowthroat especially. A male who came out and flew around me and then
did the broken wing thing making a total circle around my feet and then
trying to lead me away, staying in close proximity until I was away from the
nest site.
