Eighteen observers participated on the Mammoth Cave National Park field trip 
this past Sunday, May 4th.  A total of 76  bird species were seen during the 
trip, with twenty-four species of warblers the highlight. Blue-winged 
Warblers were viewed singing on their nesting territories through a scope at 
   "wandering woods". Prairie Warblers were also observed here in numbers. A 
Gray-cheeked Thrush was seen when leaving this area. Near the lodge area,  
nice flocks of warblers including beautiful male Cape May and Bay-breasted 
Warblers were viewed. Both Summer and Scarlet Tanagers were observed.
