This morning I checked out diurnal migration at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. Although the sky was cloudless (but somewhat hazy high up with smoke) conditions were good with a light to moderate NE wind. Typical migrants for this time of year were on the move, but the highlight was an Olive-sided Flycatcher actively sallying out for flying insects for a few minutes from a high perch on a dead tree. Migrants on the move over 2.5 hours were 1300 Red-winged Blackbirds; 30+ Chimney Swifts, 50 Cedar Waxwings, 20 Barn Swallows, 15 Bobolinks, 15 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, 6 Eastern Kingbirds, 2 Yellow Warblers. An American Kestrel made a pass at the Olive-sided but quickly disappeared behind trees, so I'm not sure if it presented as a migrant. Other raptors were local - a juv Peregrine Falcon and various Ospreys. There were two flyover Green Herons and five (3 and 2) flyover shorebirds that may have been Solitary Sandpipers based on passage flights here in the past. However, they were silent and I didn't get a good enough look to be sure. There were a couple of Empids that didn't provide good looks high in trees, but one of them gave a single Alder Flycatcher song. Greg Hanisek Waterbury
