On Friday I went to Lake Park in the morning and it was very quiet. Saw one
Brown Creeper. I then headed over to Estabrook Park. I only had a few
warblers there with the highlight being a pretty cooperative Black-throated
Blue Warbler that I circled a few times and found 3 different times. As
Brian Hansen mentioned, I saw more Robins, with some Flickers mixed in, than
I had ever seen in one place before. I went back to Lake Park in the
afternoon and had much better luck. I saw several warblers including,
Black-throated Green, Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat, Magnolia, Black
& White, Blackpoll, Yellow-rumped, and Nashville. I also had a Blue-headed
Vireo, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and a Red-breasted Nuthatch.
I didn't go out at all yesterday, but went to Lake Park this morning and the
only highlight was a Hairy Woodpecker and a few Winter Wrens in the ravine.
I came back home and spent about an hour in my backyard. I had nice looks at
a Nashville Warbler, Hermit Thrush, and what I'm pretty sure is a
Chestnut-sided Warbler.
Some of the better photos are below.
