Warbler day in the Park!!! The amazing number of 14 sps tallied today.  Among them: Bay-breasted, BT Green, Magnolia, Yellow, Blackpoll, Ovenbird, Myrtle, Black-and-white.

Thanks to a false alarm about a SUTA in the Peninsula, I got there to see Yellow-bellied & Least Flycatchers. We only found SCTAs in the Peninsula area.

In the Vale, a surprise was around the corner, 2 Lincoln's Sparrows.  And Thrushes, all the possibles ones: Veery, Swainson's, Gray-cheeked, Wood, and Turdus americanus.
