May Warblers in Milford

May Warblers in Milford, 5/15/18.  Finally a day of fallout throughout coastal CT, and it began here as soon as I opened the door in the morning with the singing of a Yellow-throated Vireo and two Black-throated Blue Warblers in the fog and a Cape May in the Silver Maple cross the street.  Later, in Mondo Ponds and Wilcox Park, more Cape Mays and Bay-breasted, and Blackburnians in both sites.  Other warblers included Wilson's, Canada, Magnolia (the most common), Common Yellowthroat, Yellow, Ovenbird, Black-throated Green, Tennessee, Yellow-rumped, Redstarts, Chestnut-sided, Black-and-white, Northern Waterthrush, and Blackpoll.  Vireos were Warbling, Blue-headed, Red-eyed, and Yellow-throated.  Thrushes were Veery, Swainson's, Wood, and Hermit.  (Shorebirds were abundant at Milford Point, but that's another story.). A few (poor) record photos below.
