This morning featured a small movement of migrants. Highlights included some striking adult male Redstarts, a brief glimpse at an adult male Black-throated Green, and an Orchard Oriole, the first in over a week. Shorebird highlights were three Stilt Sandpipers including a juvenile sporting the fresh from the arctic tundra buffy wash typical of fresh juvenile sandpipers.
