This morning we chased warblers through the parking islands, down the back
stretch of the tram road, and walked the Ebony Trail.  The female
Black-throated Gray was showy and visible at every turn, as was a
Blue-headed Vireo.  The Tropical Parulas kept partly hidden behind
branches.  Probably both were present, but one stayed too deep in the tree
to confirm.  We only had brief Wow! glimpses of the male.  Two Nashville
Warblers were reported; very likely there were more.  A couple American
Goldfinch were seen and a White-tailed Kite did a very brief fly over.
Water levels are back up in the resaca.
