    Most of these were at Blucher, and most of them just flew by in the morning, far outnumbered by Baltimores.

  80. Baltimore Oriole

    Number observed:  1200

    Details

    Clearly the migrant of the day. We stood in the backyard of Blucher and I did several minute counts that ranged from 40-80 birds. There must have been at least 100 and probably twice that number at Rose Hill. At Packery, I photographed over 20 in one tree. Load of orioles came though today.

  91. Tennessee Warbler

    Number observed:  80

    Details

    The only warbler that was in really good numbers. At Roe Hill there were ~40 with several flocks of 6-8 in tight spots.

  93. Kentucky Warbler

    Number observed:  4

  94. Common Yellowthroat

  95. Hooded Warbler

    Number observed:  2

  96. Cerulean Warbler

    Number observed:  6

    Details

    Male and female at Blucher. Female at Rose Hill, with at least three and probably four males there. Two were next to each other, singing!

  97. Northern Parula

    Number observed:  6

  98. Magnolia Warbler

    Number observed:  2

  99. Blackburnian Warbler

    Number observed:  4

  100. Yellow Warbler

  103. Canada Warbler

    Number observed:  2

  104. Summer Tanager

    Number observed:  250

    Details

    Amazing numbers, especially at Blucher. We picked two up off the ground and had dozens flying past us. Present in good numbers everywhere.

  105. Scarlet Tanager

    Number observed:  10

  106. Northern Cardinal

    Number observed:  8

  107. Rose-breasted Grosbeak

    Number observed:  60

    Details

    At the willows, as an example, we had 20 on the ground together, and had slightly smaller groups at several different locations.

  108. Blue Grosbeak

    Number observed:  8

  109. Indigo Bunting

    Number observed:  400

    Details

    I am betting this number is low. At Paradise, there were 40 in one group, similar at Blucher and Packery. In the morning, steady flocks flew by us at Blucher.

  110. Painted Bunting

    Number observed:  12

  111. Dickcissel

    Number observed:  24
