A mixed bag of warblers

Sort of a mixed bagged today in Prospect and Greenwood as most activity happened in the early morning but quieted down quickly in the afternoon.

For starters,Hooded Warbler seems "numerous"with one at Greenwood Cemetery Pierrepont Mausoleum,one West of Valley Water and another in Prospects Ravine.

Perhaps two Worm eating Warblers are reported : one atop Lookout Hill on the south upper slope bordering Butterfly Meadow and maybe another at the northeast Quaker Cemetery perimeter along the trail.

Continuing  with warblers, a Louisiana Waterthush was seen in the Ravine.

Also in the Ravine at the margin were three male Scarlet Tanagers.

Notable in Prospect , a flyover Greater Yellow legs over Prospect Lake and White Eyed Vireo West of the Well house behind the picnic tables bought quality sightings.

And lastly, the Gambles White crowned Sparrow sticks around at Sylvan Water West hedgerows, observed coming to the water edge.

My timing wasn't right in afternoon birding.🤗
