I spent from 6:30 until 9:00 am in the Hawthorns this morning and ran
into at least 9 other birders! The morning began quietly, with an
occasional Tennessee Warbler song, a few yellows and yellowthroats. By
7 - 7:30 the pace picked up markedly. There seemed to be Tennessee
Warblers everywhere. Here are the highlights:
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER in the NE corner, foraging with a Magnolia
Warbler and others on the edge of the ravine
BAY-BREASTED WARBLER: at least three in one group, and I heard reports
of another group of 4 males and 1 female. NE corner
TENNESSEE WARBLER X
Magnolia Warbler - at least 4, likely more
Chestnut-sided Warbler - at least 5
Blackburnian Warbler 1
Wilson's Warbler 1
Black and White Warbler 1
Canada Warbler 1
Black-throated Blue Warbler (female) 1
American Redstart X
Yellow Warbler X
Common Yellowthroat X
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER 1 There were several Least Flycatchers
present giving the "chebeck" call. The Yellow-bellied never vocalized,
but several of us got good enough looks at it to confirm the ID.
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO It first began calling from the north section of
the orchard around 9 AM.
