I think all your birds are here in the Panhandle. We've been having huge numbers of Blackpoll Warblers, a species we only get during strong east winds in Pensacola. Same with Cape May and Black-throated Blue. Two days ago I had many migrants (Yellow-billed Cuckoo, many warblers, both grosbeaks, and sixty Bobolinks in a tree..). I do remember days in April where one could see and hear eight-twelve species quite easily, with fifteen species or so being fairly regular. It is too early to tell if this is a result of a steep decrease in neotropical and Caribbean migrants. Let me just say that the Pensacola/Coastal Alabama area had several huge fallouts (many twenty+ warbler days). The birds over here are doing just fine.
