This morning I saw 4 male and one female Boblinks in the first field past the 
low water ford on Sparks Lane. One male was singing in the top of a cherry tree 
near a Blue grosbeak.  It flew to join another male singing from blackberry 
canes.  The birds flew to the horse pasture below the sewage ponds. 
Yellow-breasted chats were heard a numerous locations along the loop road. 

There were 6 broods of Wood ducks on the sewage ponds with approximately 40 
ducklings observed. One male Yellow-rumped warbler was in the trees near the 
sewage ponds and a female Baltimore oriole was feeding in the flowers of a 
Tulip Poplar.  I saw 36 species in about 45 minutes of birding.

Butterflies were also very plentiful and I had great views of Tiger 
Swallowtails, Common Buckeye, Red-spotted Purple, Mourning Cloak, Pipevine 
Swallowtail, Virginia White, Pearl Crescent, Slivery Checkerspot, and 
Silver-spotted Skippers.
