From Meredith Sampson:

5/17 - Old Greenwich, Greenwich Point -- SNOW GOOSE, WILSON'S WARBLER,
2 BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS.

Only a mere 8 warbler species.  Seems most of the migration has bypassed the point.
It appears the Snow Goose has an injured wing which explains its presence for now just
over 3 weeks.  Last time I saw the Harlequin Duck was last Sunday.

Also sighted, heard:
Warbling Vireos - 2
American Redstarts
Magnolia Warblers - 5
Northern Parulas - 2
Swainson's Thrush
Eastern Kingbirds - 2
Brant - about 40
Common Loon
American Oystercatchers - 2
Spotted Sandpiper
