All,
Migrant activity started with a wimper and built from there this AM, probably
because of the cloud cover and no direct sunlight hitting the trees. I found
eleven species of warbler including a vocal CANADA WARBLER (my first for this
park and the season) and a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER. I first heard the Canada
and it sounded very much like a fast Hooded Warbler vs what I am normally
accustomed to, highlighting the variability of their song. I was amazed at the
numbers of YELLOW-RUMPEDs still around and singing, making hearing other
species difficult at times. A couple of RC KINGLETS still around. List
follows including fly-over birds.
