This morning our small group found the Hooded Warbler on territory at CNC. It perched in plain sight, singing, for a good five minutes, and gave us quite a show. Also exciting were a number of Veerys strolling along the path in front of us, giving long views but no songs, as well as male and female Scarlet Tanagers together, up close. (We stayed in the woods and did not go up to the fields, so may have missed a few species up there.)
To find the Hooded Warbler, enter the woods on the right below the lodge, cross the bridge, and take the middle path to where it ends at another bridge (west side of the log cabin clearing). The bird was defending the area on the left, where there are maple saplings. My eBird report follows. Happy Mother's Day!
