This morning was the first May Bird Walk in the Hixon Forest.  We saw
and heard about 40 species of bird with the following highlights:

Blackburnian Warbler (2)
Magnolia Warbler (FOY)
Cape May Warbler (FOY)
Chestnut-sided Warbler (FOY)
Tennessee Warblers (Many)
Nashville Warblers (Many)
Ovenbirds (many singing)
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Red-eyed Vireo (FOY)
Veery (FOY)
Scarlet Tanager (heard only)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak

There will be 2 more walks in both the Myrick Marsh and the Hixon
Forest.  The walks start at 6:30.  The Myrick Marsh walks are held on
Tuesday mornings and the Hixon Forest walks are held on Thursday
morning.  The are free and open to the public.

I finally saw my first Prothonotary Warbler of the year at Goose Island
last night.  They have been around for a week, but I couldn't find any.
I also heard another Northern Parula there.

Good Birding,
