I forgot to mention that we also saw BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER and several BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS on the Wilson Trail this morning. The Romans saw a TENNESSEE WARBLER and another pair of birders reported a Northern Parula, for a collective total of 15 or 16 species.

By moving rather quickly and making one repeat pass, we found ourselves among seething flocks several times. Highlights, shared mostly with Stuart Krasnoff and Lynn and Frank Roman, include the following. * At least one male HOODED WARBLER (seen at first trail split and bend in trail past second footbridge - Tilden's life bird); * 2+ male WILSON'S WARBLERS (several sightings) * One or more dull CANADA WARBLERS (three sightings) * 5+ BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS * 2 BLACKPOLL WARBLERS * 12+ MAGNOLIA WARBLERS (everywhere - could have been twice that many) * 3+ CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERS (including one probable adult male with strong chestnut side streak) * 2 BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS * 1+ male BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS (two sightings, several calls heard) * 1 male YELLOW WARBLER (one of the morning's bigger surprises) * 6+ AMERICAN REDSTARTS * probable PHILADELPHIA VIREO seen briefly by me only * 1+ BLUE-HEADED VIREO (three sightings) * 4+ WARBLING VIREOS (several sightings, song heard twice) * many RED-EYED VIREOS plus ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, CAROLINA WREN, a few SCARLET TANAGERS, a GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER, and others.
