Among 41 species at Campbell Flats this morning were 10 warblers, some 
of which were transients.  I thought the cold front's passage might spur 
some solid migration, but it was pretty quiet overall. As is often the 
case, the best songbird activity was along the narrow strip of brush and 
trees between the river and back (northwest) corner of the cornfield.  A 
number of species were feeding in the corn, moving back and forth 
between the two habitats.
