My neighborhood, Shooks Run in downtown Colorado Springs, is awash in migrants today. Of note:

Western Tanager - 10 sighted in about 30 minutes
Bullock’s Oriole - 5
Warbling Vireo - 2, and a new yard bird for me.
Swainson’s Thrush (following on a Hermit Thrush that hung around for much of the day yesterday.)
FOS Yellow-rumped and Yellow Warblers.
Large flocks of Chipping Sparrows

On the opposite side of the migration spectrum, a straggling flock of Cedar Waxwings is still around.
