Hi all, Roi Dor and I walked the Wilson trail from 1:15 to 2 and saw a different set of birds than Scott. We did see the Palm Warbler near the feeder on the north edge of the pond. The most active site was just to the south of the Podell Boardwalk where we heard and saw a Yellow-throated Vireo, Warbling Vireo, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler (low, great amazing views of this Bird), Yellow Warbler and a number of Orioles - very low in the trees. It was quite a lot for 15 minutes! Laura

After some effort, we located an immature male paired up with a female in the spruce just over the railroad tracks, but before the entrance to the park proper. The pair was occasionally chased around by a few boisterous male Baltimore Orioles. Also present near the entrance to Myers were Northern Parula (2) and Nashville Warbler (1). Best, Scott -- Scott A.
