Warblers, Hooded Warblers, Northern Parulas, Yellow Warbler, Pine Warblers,
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Yellow-throated Warblers, Prairie Warblers,

recovering from the past wildfire along Hwy 421 above mile marker 33 - there
was also a Red-breasted Nuthatch at this location.
Complete list is below with complete numbers and birds can be matched to
