American Redstart, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Yellow
Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Common
Yellowthroat... 3+ individuals of each and I barely made it out of the
parking lot. Also a variety of flycatchers.
Thought I'd take a minute to let y'all know that in the park this is by far
the best warbler day of the season. We've had over 80 students here all
morning so I haven't been out birding. They picked an excellent day to
come and were able to see around 14 Common Nighthawks flying over the
resaca mid morning.
