Hi Tweeters,

Seeing all of the reports of migrants in the area, I looped through the UW Arboretum this morning. The birds flit quickly through the treetops here, but I was able to find some nice birds, including:

- Warblers: Nashville (at least 1, maybe chasing another), Yellow (1), Black-throated Gray (2-3), Orange-crowned, and Townsend's (surprisingly no Yellow-rumped today).
- Vireos: Cassin's (1 in the biggest warbler flock, wingbars and spectacles seen), Warbling (many), and Hutton's (3).
- Flycatchers: Pacific-slope (1 singing on territory for weeks now) and Hammond's
- also a couple of Evening Grosbeaks

Good birding,
