hi there,
radar last night showed some birds arriving, but for the most part, seemed
rather quiet, but to my surprise, this morning at Hermann Park - Bayou
Parkland (accessed via Almeda parking lot), the migrant show continued.
Lots of birds were still hanging around, but there was clearly some
turnover. At dawn, on the extreme northeast edge of the woodlot, where the
sun first hits, small groups of warblers (mostly Tennessee's), orioles, and
kingbirds were streaming by, stopping only briefly in the tree tops. In
the north wood lot, picnic area, and south wood lot (south of the parking
area), warblers were everywhere. Hard to focus. Ovenbirds, waterthrushes,
redstart, yellowthroats, magnolias, chestnut-sideds, tennessees,
blackburnians, black-and-whites, yellow, black-throated greens, and canadas
were all in full song. The first year female Audubon's Warbler is still
present, having now spent three days here. There were also 3 female or
subadult male Golden-winged Warblers. Notably, there were zero tanagers and
dickcissels today.
