It was a cool yet sunny morning.  At 6:30am Lake Waubesa was mirror flat.
An east wind picked up later in the morning.
Jeff White and I birded Lake Farm Park.  Jeff, sorry you had to leave early
and miss the FOYs.  Mary and Barb, did you see the warblers?

Highlights:

     Warblers:

           FOY Common Yellowthroat (1) located at the northwest corner of
the burned prairie/woods in the low willows/honeysuckle

           FOY Northern Waterthrush (1) located at the edge of the marsh,
off the path through the woods west of the burned prairie

           Palm Warblers (3) near yellowthroat

           Yellow-rumped Warblers (6) - 2 with yellowthroat and palm and the
rest scattered

    Warbling Vireo numbers were up to 6 and all singing in the tops of the
cottonwoods

    2 of the 3 Brown Thrashers were singing up a storm (that's supposed to
come in tomorrow). 

    Only 1 Hermit Thrush today

 

My eBird report is appended below.
