Susan Barr and I headed out on Wilson Trail at 6:30 this morning then over to the East Trail, with lots of low-lying mist, grey clouds and drizzle. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions we saw 10 species warblers, including CHESTNUT-SIDED, MAGNOLIA, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, BLACK AND WHITE and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT. Most of these were in a single mixed flock as we stood on the East Trail boardwalk. We also had lots of AM REDSTARTS and ORIOLES around the main pond. Heard and saw HERMIT THRUSH, WOOD THRUSH and NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH at varous points.As the sun broke through the clouds at 9, we had some good looks at WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, SWAMP SPARROWS, and WARBLING VIREO in the area next to the visitor parking lot. Unlike Matt Medler's wild turkey escort, we were preceded along part of the Wilson trail by one of the Great Blue Herons!
