I was also out at Pledge-to-Fledge, working Oxbow Island with Ken Davis.  While we didn't have any new birders, we did have a decent fallout of migrants.  Ken was there at 7, while I arrived at 8, so he saw the early morning flocks.  By 9 stuff was disappearing quickly, so this is definitely an early morning spot. Included in the haul were
Great Egrets - 7 fly bys, headed south early
Great Blue Herons - 8-10
Green Herons - 4
Osprey - 2
Bald Eagle - 1 adult north of the island
shorebirds - 10 Kildeer, 3 Solitary, 2 Spotted Sandpipers
Hummingbird - 1 buzzing south along the shore
Least Flycatcher - 1 near the tip of the island
Swallows - very few, with only a handful of Barn, plus a few too far to ID
Vireos - 2 Yellow-throated, 2 Warbling, 1 Red-eyed
Mimids - loads of Catbirds, plus 1 Brown Thrasher
Cedar Waxwings - only a few today
Warblers - 10 sp: Yellow, Parula, Prothonotary, Magnolia, Black-thr.Green, Cape May, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted, Black&White, Wilson's
Orioles - 1-2 Baltimore calling on the island

Afterwards, I spent an hour hiking the flats and bikepath at Wiese Rd.  By this time it was hot, so landbirds were minimal, but there was a Red-headed Woodpecker in a snag along the shore and an Acadian Flycatcher and Indigo Bunting along the path.  Herons & shorebirds were still active, though, with the following highlights:
Great Egret - 12
Great Blue Herons - 10
Semipalmated Plovers - 4
Kildeer - 60+
Spotted Sandpiper - 1
Yellowlegs - 1 Greater, 5 Lesser
Pectoral Sandpipers - 25
Buff-breasted - 2 (in the grassflats west of the boardwalk)
Least Sandpipers - 20
Semipalmated Sandpipers - 50+
Short-billed Dowitcher - 1
Ring-billed Gulls - 20+
Caspian Terns - 2

Butterflies are still putting on a good show here as well, with lots of Fiery Skippers and Dainty Sulphurs, and lesser numbers of Common Sootywings, Cabbage Whites, Clouded & Cloudless Sulphurs, Orange Sulphurs, Buckeyes, both American and Common Painted Ladies, Pearl Crescents, Monarchs, and Northern Pearly Eyes (the latter along the path)
