Subject: Saint John West new arrivals early this morning

Migration was still under way up to 45 minutes after sunrise this
morning with small groups of birds (mostly warblers) flying eastward a
few hundred meters above ground.

On the ground I was able to locate 14 species of warblers, including 6
first of spring for me. I am pretty sure I missed a few species because
at some point they were popping form every three and bushes and I was
not able to look at each of them before they move away!

The most abundant Warbler species was Black-and-white Warbler with a
minimum of 85. At some point there was 6 in the same tree! Second most
common was White-Throated Sparrow (36). There was also many migrating
Savannah Sparrows and a group 9 migrating Blue Jays.

New for the year for me are:
Swainson's Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 1
Common Yellowthroat 2 males
Magnolia 12 males
Chestnut-sided Warbler 1 male
Blackpoll Warbler 1 male
Wilson's Warbler 1 male
Rose-breasted Grosbeak 2 male

It usually happens Mother's Day weekend, so my first Hummer of the
season was only a day late.
