Hi Peter,
Well, it was pretty birdy out there today! An incredible amount of activity on a very beautiful and pleasant day. We ended up with 86 species including 25 species of warblers. Considering we had almost no raptors, herons, ducks and many other groups, the list was very good.\
The group started out at about 36 or so and many hung in for most of the day.
Highlights include: Ruby-throated Hummingbird building at nest near the lullwater cove; 2 eggs on the Green Heron nest; Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers, Indigo Bunting, 5 species of vireo including White-eyed and Yellow-throated (thanks to Rob J); 3 Worm-eating Warblers, very good looks at Bay-breasted, Canada, Cape May, Blue-winged (at least 2), Magnolia, Chestnut-sided and more including over 1 million Northern Parulas, all singing simultaneously.
A few species were more elusive. The Kentucky was just chipping; and the Blackburnian and Tennessee didn't put in much of an appearance. But all in all lots of great sightings.
Here's the list. I'll send a few pictures shortly.
Best regards,
Tom
