On the Wilson Trail North on Wednesday, I missed the first four warbler species that Jay reports below from his Sapsucker Woods walk, but I found several others -- Hooded (1 M), Black-throated Blue (2 M together), Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, and Ovenbird, plus a Wood Thrush and a probable Swainson's Thrush.

The highlight was a single buzzy call note from a DICKCISSEL, presumably flying over, to the NW of the NE corner of the garden plots. The bird was not seen. We also had a dull CAPE MAY WARBLER emerge from foraging low in the vegetation of one of the garden plots and immediately fly sheepishly into the tall oaks along the edge, no doubt ashamed to have been caught foraging in such an embarrassing habitat. We also had a little flock that included a bright PHILADELPHIA VIREO and a Red-eyed Vireo in the hedgerow across the street. Lots of activity at Sapsucker Woods this morning too. We had BAY-BREASTED, WILSON'S, Black-and-white, Nashville, Black-throated Green, Magnolia (many), American Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat on the walk in, as well as a PHILADELPHIA VIREO, several Warbling and Red-eyed vireos, Eastern Phoebes, and a heard-only YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER.
