It was pretty busy in the yard this morning between 7 and 8:30 am. 10 species of warblers were nice with quite a few first of season species. The Solitary Sandpiper was a surprise. Best of show was the fledgling GHO. It appeared in a tree behind me, and looked all downy and puffed up. One of the parents stayed around to provide protection and or guidance.
