At about 9:30 this morning the migration switch turned on at Lawrence

Woods. First migrant was a Scarlet Tanager, then a singing Parula.  By the

time I was out at 12:00, I had 55 species and dipped on three others that

were there earlier, or are normally there.  A Black-throated Green Warbler

even came down and landed on my wife for a few seconds. :-D



List below.



Happy birding and God bless,



Steve J.
