Hi All,

With some nice weather conditions overnight, I made the trip out to the OP with Ethan Monk. Below is a summary of some of the migrants and vagrants from the day. Overall, the day was filled with many eastern migrants, but the overall numbers were very few, as seen below. With his permission, I have also included some birds observed by Ethan.
