first WARBLERS of the season spotted (admittedly, a bit late to the
game on my part) April 29th: yellow-rumps in Six Mile Gorge.
this morning, May 4th, WARBLER HEAVEN in the Hawthorn Orchards on East
Hill (roughly 10 am - 12:30 pm), with an amazing fallout from
yesterday's thunderstorms (similar to the fallout from a prior storm
two days before, that I missed). the hawthorns literally dripping with
warbler poop . . .
Bay-breasted (highly probable), Chestnut-sided, Yellow, Ovenbird
(heard), Black-and-white, Tennessee, Yellow-rumped, American Redstart,
Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Black-
throated blue (heard), Black-throated green.
It was a treat to have so many different species of warblers hanging
out in proximity to one another, so you could really observe and
compare them.
Plus Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and
Baltimore Oriole, amongst others (35 species in 2 hours).
