I had some hopes that yesterday's migrants might hold out another day or that there might be another cohort behind them. No such luck. The one 'new' bird was
a Clapper Rail on the pond at low tide -- a bird that breeds on the other side of the bay but is seen over here only occasionally. One warbler that I had a good look at was the immature Cape May yet once again (yellowish underneath all the way to the undertail coverts, prominent wing bars, burry streaking at the sides). Other warblers were Prairie and American Redstart. I saw several Red-eyed Vireos but no Blue-headed at all. Eastern Phoebe and Eastern Wood-pewee were both common or at least easy to see.
Still here: a few Royal Terns visiting the creek, a Green Heron, at least one Osprey, several White-breasted Nuthatches.
