Veery large numbers

This morning, I slept in, and did not get up until around 5 to listen for migrants. Before I heard any songbirds, a Barred Owl called from the creek at the bottom of the ridge. My final counts for flight calls were:

Veery-137
Swainson's Thrush-2 (low compared to other days)
Ovenbird-21


I conducted a bird survey at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center (www.lgnc.org) this morning and found lots of migrating Eastern Kingbirds. A male Blue Grosbeak was singing in the grassland.
