There are two birds I need to add to this morning's Hawthorn list. All
of the morning's birds were in the NE corner or along the northern
edge of the Orchard. I never got out south into the tangle.
NASHVILLE WARBLER 2
BALCK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER This guy was foraging in the flowering
trees at the edge of the ravine. It was notable because he was singing
both the primary and alternate songs in rapid succession. He sang
continuously, for over 15 minutes, while foraging. And the song was
muted, almost like a "whisper" song. At first I thought it was two
birds, one singing each song.

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.
