Despite the arctic weather over the Park, and a slow start, when I arrived at the Lullwater Cove area, the I hit the jackpot. Seven sps of warblers in this area: Northern Waterthrush, Prairie, Myrtle, Pine, Palm,Yellow & Ovenbird. Early at the edge of Nelly's lawn, I saw a single individual of Black-and-white.
A large crowd following T.S. on his Thursday walk have also a great time at the cove.
Also seen today some Chimney Swifts, 1 Blue-headed Vireo. I did not visit the Peninsula, and the Lake. Too cold!!
