A first-year male Kirtland's Warbler was found at 11:00 a.m. yesterday in the middle section of the Woodland Nature Trail (Alfred Adamo). Today the bird was refound and is now singing -- just north of the Visitor Centre on the bike trail, near the Cactus Display. A Summer Tanager was located along the road just north of the tram loop. A non-singing Connecticut Warbler was found in the Tip Loop Woods. Yesterday afternoon a Laughing Gull was at NW Hillman Marsh, within the shorebird habitat pond.
