Kirtland's Warbler and Other Migrants at Magee Marsh 5/12/2016

  Traveled across the state and into Ohio through the wee hours of the morning.  Arrived at Magee Marsh just as the rain stopped.  The morning was pretty slow but around 3 PM things picked up significantly as rain started threatening once again,
  Highlight of the day....a distant Kirtland's Warbler near the east boardwalk entrance.
