PROSPECT MORNING

À morning of below expectations for a peak date greeted birders on Lookout Hill despite the north wind. Some reports from different birders filled the time gaps but not what they expected for unusually light activity.
Reports of warblers included a few decent species with usual speçies.Its early in the day so perhaps there will be better numbers later. For now,BLACKBURNIAN,BLACK THROATED GREEN,BLACK THROATED BLUE,TENNESSEE, NORTHERN PARULA, And REDSTART were some warblers reported.
For non warblers, YELLOW BILLED CUCKOO, SWAINSON's THRUSH , SCARLET TANAGER , & RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD,added bird diversity on Lookout Hill.

Afternoon found news of early DE Junco (Lamppost 249) , very early Ruby crowned Kinglet & 3 COMMON NIGHTHAWKS seen flying towards the park from the west,as observed by Rob Jett with the last species.
