At least in Port Townsend, we're suddenly swimming in Wilson's Warblers,
joining the army of Orange-crowns that arrived a few weeks ago. Today, all
within walking distance, I had first of season (FOS) Yellow Warbler,
MacGillivray's Warbler, Hammond's Flycatcher, and Cassin's Vireo.

Here is my morning list from KahTai Lagoon (with some pics):

And then a short extra list because there were so many birds behind my
yard:

Add to that a pair of Townsend's Solitaires and a continued Marbled Godwit
among the Whimbrels on Marrowstone Island yesterday (and a Nashville
Warbler found yesterday and a Common Tern today by others), and migration
flood gates appear to be fully open!

good birding,
