The warblers are beginning to reappear! I had three species this morning,
my first there since June 9. There was a first year Prairie Warbler in
the bushes just below the spillway bridge, pumping its tail continuously and
showing off its white outer tail feathers. And near bench #20 just before
Long Bridge, there was a tailless first year Northern Parula and a gorgeous
male Hooded Warbler. These were chasing each other and foraging in the
tall weeds. There was also an adult and fledgling Pewees at that spot.
There are 60+ Wood Ducks spread along the shoreline and 4-5 Green Herons
fishing from the downed trees.
Deer are everywhere, along with a few spotted fawns.
