Evidence of this for me this year was a one time singing Red-eyed Vireo on
the grounds of the College of Forest Resources on Saturday June 12. I have
never heard this individual again and the habitat is wrong, so would
presume that sighting to be a migrant (though the singing was odd for a
migrant). That area of campus does get some good birds, a MacGillvaries
warbler was caught in a mist net during migration in the Medicinal herb
garden (directly accross the street from the College).
