[birdky] RPT: Mammoth Cave 9/5

I hope some of you felt compelled to skip work as I
did today, because it was a great day for birding. :)

Mammoth Cave this morning was hopping, literally, with
16 species of warblers and 5 vireos observed.  The
most notable was a VERY early Orange-crowned Warbler
(that I wouldn't have believed had I not seen it
myself so well). Some of the more interesting birds
seen were:

Tennessee Warbler (many)
Orange-crowned Warbler (1)
Blue-winged Warbler (1)
Golden-winged Warbler (1)
Magnolia Warbler  (many)
Am. Redstart (many)
Bay-breasted Warbler (6-8)
Cape May Warbler (2)
Chestnut-sided Warbler (10+)
Black-throated Green Warbler (3)
Pine Warbler (1)
Prairie Warbler (5)
Blackburnian Warbler (6-8)
Northern Parula (2)
Yellow-throated Warbler (1)
Northern Waterthrush (1)
Red-eyed Vireo (3)
White-eyed Vireo (2)
Warbling Vireo (1)
Yellow-throated Vireo (1)
Blue-headed Vireo (1 - perhaps not a migrant)
2 silent empidonax flycatchers tentatively id'ed as
Yellow-bellied (high confidence) and Least (medium
confidence) based on the look I got.
Great Crested Flycatcher (2)
Swainson's Thrush (6+)
Both Tanagers (many, mostly scarlet)

Good birding,

Mark Monroe
