I walked the Wilson Trail after work. I didn't find many of the great birds reported today, but did see my first R.T. HUMMINGBIRD and ALDER FLYCATCHER calling just before the first house on the curve with the crazy stop sign.

I'll also note that this species, like most of our North American "Vermivora"s, is now actually in the genus Oreothlypis. (Sorry, Chris.)

The cumulative warbler tally for the day is 18+ species, several of which I missed. YELLOW WARBLER MAGNOLIA WARBLER (1 by lone bench south of Sherwood Platform) BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER (several throughout, including one female) CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (one on Wilson North, one south of Podell Boardwalk) CAPE MAY WARBLER (two at bend in Wilson Trail North after second footbridge, found by Chris Wood, Tom Schulenberg, Steve Kelling, and a fourth gentleman) BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (3+ all around Wilson Trail) YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER PALM WARBLER (1 south of feeder garden, seen by Mary Winston) BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (as Kevin Ripka reported) BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER (also found by Kevin) AMERICAN REDSTART NASHVILLE WARBLER (1 by lone bench) NORTHERN PARULA (4+ all around Wilson Trail) OVENBIRD (several throughout) NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH (1+ migrant by green pool west of Wilson Trail near Sherwood, plus birds on territory along Woodleton Boardwalk) WILSON’S WARBLER (lone feeder and also lone bench along Wilson Trail) CANADA WARBLER (between Sherwood Platform and lone bench) COMMON YELLOWTHROAT YELLOW-THROATED VIREO and RUSTY BLACKBIRD both continue to sing at intersection of Wilson and West Trails. It is also an unusually good day to watch EASTERN KINGBIRDS (7+), which put on quite a show brawling with each other in the treetops.
