Hi as an addition to mathew's post there is a beautiful male Golden-Winged Warbler hanging behind the garden plots at Shell Park. He is hanging around the same area as the Nighthawk which is just over the creek behind the garden plots,follow the trail up till you get to a couple of signs and the nighthawk is up to the left ,the warbler has been hanging just to the right in a big leafy tree and along the edge of the woods. Also saw 18 other type of warblers including Northern Parula, Orange Crowned and Blackpoll, Indigo Bunting ,many Least Flycatchers and Lincoln's Sparrow.
