I had this impression, although I wasn't really paying attention 
for the first wave.  I do know that last Tuesday evening, I saw
9 kinds of warblers in our backyard, in a two-hour period.  Since then
there's hardly been any.

The ones I saw were: Magnolia, Nashville, Tennessee, Cape May, Black & White,
American Redstart, Palm, Bay Breasted and Chestnut-Sided, plus a Scarlet
Tanager just for good measure.

For someone who has just started paying attention to warblers, seeing 9
species, 7 of which I had never seen before, in one evening was quite
a thrill.
