Nice day around the Dutch Gap loop. Encounters included the following:
A. redstart (many)
Prothonotary warbler (quite a few...banded 5 males, four in breeding condition)
yellow-throated warbler (quite a few)
northern waterthrush
northern parula warbler
yellow warbler
common yellowthroat
yellow-rumped warbler
hooded warbler
and a summer tanager
What a pleasure.
