Hi all, I birded along the south edge of Beebe Lake and the Mundy Wildflower Gardens today. The highlight was a mixed warbler flock near Beebe Lake, including Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, Parula, BT Green and BT Blue. The wildflower gardens were fairly quiet, except for a smallish mixed flock containing almost exclusively Red-eyed Vireos and Chestnut-sided Warblers. The full list follows:
