Fellow ONTBIRDERS/OFO members may be interested to know that on a brief visit
to Laurentian area n. of Montreal (N45degr51min, W74degr),I observed 9 warbler
species arrive suddenly in significant numbers bordering a small lake. Most
numerous were Yellow-rumped, as well as multiple individual Bl.throated Blue
and Black and White. Also seen were Chestnut-sided, Bl throated Green,
N.Parula, Magnolia, Cape May and Common Yellowthroat. Only the Bl.throated
Blue and Yellowthroats were singing - so that most of these were likely still
moving north. I wonder if any of these crossed Great Lakes and then continued
northeast, rather than moving up directly north from Vermont.
