[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

Thursday, May 10, I spent some time after getting home from work in the yard. 


I was rewarded with looks at a Kentucky Warbler in the overgrown tangles near 
the remains of the old springhouse. The bird was foraging, snapping up the 
occasional flying gnat-like insect. 

Then, in the willow stand at the creek, I observed a male Magnolia Warbler. 
I'd forgotten how splendid these warblers look in springtime. He was busy 
foraging, too, and didn't do any singing, although a nearby Gray Catbird sang 
enough for the both of them.

Singing, but unseen, warblers included Black-and-white, Hooded, Ovenbird and 
Chestnut-sided.

And, oh yeah, the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are still coming to the feeders.

A few other sightings included two House Wrens, Indigo Buntings, 
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, House Finches and American Goldfinches.
