It was a gorgeous morning in Madison today! My husband and I walked in the 
Arboretum from about 8:30-11:15 am. As soon as we got out of the car at the 
Wingra Woods parking area we saw PINE WARBLERS; we counted at least 8 there and 
in the next little patch of road. We walked the lower trail down by the springs 
and found 7 PALM WARBLERS and one BLACK-AND-WHITE, as well as a HOUSE WREN and 
3 HERMIT THRUSHES. Yellow-rumps and ruby-crowned kinglets were abundant. 
Several e. towhees singing or calling, a yellow-bellied sapsucker too. 2 osprey 
overhead over the lake. As we made our way back up from the lower trail we were 
delighted to hear at least 2 (maybe 3?) BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS; we were 
able to get bins on one of them. So nice to see and hear them back!
Dipped on winter wren which would be a life bird for my husband, but with all 
the warblers we had a more than satisfactory morning!!
