Prospect had a better morning compared to Greenwood. Dennis's walk group found a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER at Three sisters islands thanks to young John Dean. A short while later Rob Bate found in the same area a male BOBOLINK on the ground the bird eventually moving closer to Duck Island where a WHITE CROWNED SPARROW also was found.
As a bonus,a COMMON LOON decided to feed on prospect lake, seen by many as it done frequently this morning.
Dale Dyer texted me 1030 this note: Yellow-throated warbler white oak lookout at top of maryland monument stairs (nature trek tour finder)
I was birding much quieter Greenwood. But friends I ran into mentioned noteworthy birds. Mary Eyster said she saw three CAPE MAY WARBLERS at Sylvan water west area: one in a tall pine at the junction where mowers are parked; two on the rising road below the Cliff path. Kathy Toomey alerted me of two in a blooming sycamore maple on Summit Ave off Border Ave South of Dellwater. As rain fell I got a one second glimpse of a Cape May, likewise for a Chestnut sides warbler in poor light.
Dellwater is today's GWC hotspot. Besides several Rose breasted Grosbeaks feeding on elm seeds at the end,a WORMEATING WARBLER,BLACK-THROATED GREEN and BLUEWINGED WARBLER were all found by the water edges.I spotted a WHITE EYES VIREO.I was told a SUMMER TANAGER appeared yesterday there.
A BLUE GROSBEAK was reported in Greenwood on Locust Avenue around 1120 am. Unfortunately the late tweet found me already eating my hamburger at Burger King nee 115 pm.
