A 1 hour visit to Leesylvania State Park's Powell's Creek trail starting about
10:30 this morning yielded a bunch of migrants. Warblers were active along
much of the trail, mostly yellow-rumps. Others inlcuded blackpoll, northern
parula, black-throated blue, black-throated green, blue-winged, american
redstart, worm-eating, hooded, black-and-white, louisiana waterthrush, and
ovenbird. The woods also contained many thrushes. Most were wood, but also
present were 5 veery, 2 Swainson's, and a hermit. Only the wood thrushes were
singing. Other birds along the trail were scarlet tanager, rose-breasted
grosbeak, baltimore oriole, eastern kingbird, great crested flycatcher, and
acadian flycather. I also heard a warbling vireo along Neabsco Rd. adjacent to
Metz Wetlands.
