Yes! The last several nights, but especially last night (5/6-5/7),
seemed exceptional for late spring migration. Last night in Sequim we
had beautiful clear skies, light southerly breezes, and high pressure.
The Dungeness River forests seemed alive with migrant warblers, vireos,
flycatchers, etc., this morning, making lots of song, in addition to our
earlier breeding species.

It's nice to hear it is being observed elsewhere in W. Wash., to put this
all into the bigger picture.

Hope they're still around for this weekend's North American Migration
Count.
