On Friday I birded the Islands from 8:30 - 2 pm- (Sorry for the late post - no computer access 'til now).
Saw a total of 15 spp. of warblers, most in the Habitat restoration area on Wards between the swimming beach and the houses on Lakeshore Ave. Many Yellows, Yellow rumps and Magnolias. Also Yellowthroats, Blackburnians, Black throated Blue, Black and White, Redstart, Ovenbird, Nashville, Canada, Chestnut sided. Also several Great crested Flycatchers, as well as tons of Orioles and RB grosbeaks in that area.
