An early morning shower from the northwest brought in many spring migrants with another great day along the Tip Area. Warbler species were especially in abundance with over 20 species seen early this morning. Highlights included a KIRTLAND'S WARBLER singing just north of Sparrow Field, a CONNECTICUT along the east side of Loop Woods, and a single PRAIRIE WARBLER near the Tip Area,. Closer to the Tip, a SEDGE WREN, OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER were spotted and a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO posed motionless for a long period of time out in the open offering excellent views!!. CAPE MAY WARBLERS were in abundance with reports of over 10 individual birds from the Tip transit stop south down towards the Tip. A HARRIS' SPARROW was spotted along the east beach near Loop Woods.
