Hello,
I birded the Old Fish Hatchery at White Rock Lake this morning here in Dallas 
and had a few good birds despite the winds.  Fantastic looks at a male 
Blackburnian Warbler, as well as a singing Swainsons Warbler.  The bird has 
apparently been on territory for a few weeks now, and was very bold.  However, 
please refrain from using playback.  
Good birding,
