Lots of activity at the Park this morning, my first visit in months: Five Warbler spp including Blue-winged Warbler and Black-throated Green Warbler. The first doesn't breed at the Park but does nearby; but the second doesn't breed in Eastern Mass at all. Also Least Flycatcher, and my very first Lanternfly.
This migration season seems to have been very spread out. E-bird reports 126 species this May, from dozens of birders. Here are some photos from the month.

Lots of sparrows in the upper garden this morning, after two days of rain. Here's a selection.
Very bright but recalcitrant Wilson's Warbler
and close by this very late Northern Parula
I also found a Nashville Warbler and an American Redstart.
This is from yesterday actually. I believe that it's a Clay-colored Sparrow. And today a beautiful immature White-crowned Sparrow put in a brief appearance.
Chilly morning, but not a big burst of sparrows. Still some warblers around though. I found a Black-throated Green Warbler and this bright Pine Warbler.
Reade pointed out a Wilson's Warbler (unusual), and found Common Yellowthroat and Nashville. There were a few sparrows -- lots of White-throated Sparrows --
