A large number of male and female Redstarts everywhere, at least 30++. The estimate is probably low because I can't keep track of numbers while I am enjoying the birds.  Also big numbers of male and female Common Yellowthroats, about 25+.  In addition, Magnolia, Wilson's, and Yellow Warblers. The amazing thing was that all were seen at eye level, many only 10 feet from me.  Gorgeous close up view of a Green Heron, and 2 Solitary Sandpipers. Numerous orioles singing.
