[birdky] April 22 Louisville sightings

Active morning at Caperton Swamp.  Total of 57 species observed.  Lots of
migrant song. 

Vireos:  2 red-eyed, 1 white-eyed, 2 yellow-throated, 2 warbling.

Warblers:  1 male cerulean singing constantly, 8+ blue-winged, 5 Nashville,
4 palm, 1 yellow, 1 n. parula, 1 common yellowthroat, 50+ yellow-rumped.

One of the blue-winged warblers had bold yellow wingbars (not as broad as in
golden-winged) and seemed to have a few black flecks in the forehead (but
that may have been wet or parted feathers?).  Otherwise seemed to be a
typical adult male blue-winged (yellow breast / belly, etc.).  Song was
slightly variant:  occasional extra note or two in the bee part and a longer
buzz.

Others:  male scarlet tanager, Baltimore oriole, indigo bunting, blue-gray
gnatcatcher, singing ruby-crowned kinglet, winter wren, chipping sparrow.
