Hi Peter,
Great seeing you in the park today. I hope you found that Phila Vireo!
Well, if I were to say that warblers were dripping from trees and feeding from our hands I would be somewhat overstating the case, at least for some parts of the park...but it was a really birdy day.
The northern part of the park was somewhat quiet, but the further south we got the birdier it became.
We never were able to make it to the south side of the lake, which was no doubt even birdier!
We had 58 species including 18 species of warblers.
Highlights included:
at least 4 Phila Vireos, including 3 up on lookout, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher in the sumac by the peninsula meadow (thanks to a tip from Doug G), Olive-sided Flycatcher, 18 species of warblers (did I say that before...) including Blue-winged, Cape May, lots of Northern Parula, a very cooperative Nashville, two Tennessees, and lots more.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
