this

a

> BLACKBURNIAN, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, and PROTHONATORY WARBLERs, and SCARLET
> TANAGER. Later, a male ORCHARD ORIOLE visited my hummingbird feeder. The
> trees were literally dripping with birds! There were even warblers in the
> driveway! Other migrants in high numbers in and around my yard included:
