Higbee Beach was nothing if not interesting this morning! Despite poor overnight winds for migration, there was a surprising number of some species - all the more apparent given that - in contrast - there was hardly any warblers. Most obvious were Red-eyed Vireos, which trawled through the Higbee hedgelines in roving flocks. Alongside them came a number of Scarlet Tanagers and Baltimore Orioles. A Yellow-billed Cuckoo added nicely to species diversity and we finished with a busy group of Indigo Buntings and Blue Grosbeaks. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Kathy Horn, Catherine Busch, Karl Lukens, and Deb Payson.
