 Seaside Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow, Cliff Swallow, Rough- 

 winged Swallow, Cedar Waxwing, Warbling Vireo, White-eyed 

 Vireo, Nashville Warbler, Cape May Warbler, White-breasted 

 Nuthatch and Chickadee. Eighty-two species were observed on 

 May 13, but since the migration was not then at its height, and 

 the number of individuals of many species was small, this list 

 was less typical of usual conditions than the above. Bay-breasted 

 Warblers are in unusually large numbers this spring.
