Thought the overcast weather this morning would be good for migrants and was not disappointed- 15 warbler species in the Cilley Hill neighborhood in Underhill, dominated by flocks of dozens of yellow-rumped (with a truly fascinating study in plumage variation amongst these densely flocked birds, everything from adult male breeding plumaged to birds that looked practically like fledglings); in the range of 5-10 each of black-throated blue and black-throated green; 3-5 chestnut-sided, nashville, and magnolia; 2 adult male cape mays (plus one possible subadult), at least a couple bay-breasted, and one Canada warbler. Not much activity besides warblers (as well as RE  + BH vireos in the mixed flocks) although two solitary sandpipers in a local creek along rte 15 were of also of note.
