Yesterday in my email I forgot to note two more warblers in the HO BLACK-THROATED GREEN (2) and an OVENBIRD singing in the middle of the orchard. So that makes it to 13 species of warblers!

Main orchard itself did not have many birds, but both ends I encountered some warblers. Right on strawberry circle, I found two NAHSVILLE WARBLERS feeding on crab apples. I go a photo of one with its beak open containing a tiny caterpillar. Later I encountered another 10 or so. Most of them were to the Southwest side in the willows. Here I also saw several CHESTNUT-SIDEDS, MAGNOLIA, YELLOW-RUMPED, COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, YELLOW WARBLERS, REDSTARTS AND RED-EYED VIREO, A PHILADELPHIA VIREO AND two WARBLING VIREO. Further in the middle of the orchard one NORTHERN PARULA, a few more Nashvilles and Common Yellowthroats and LEAST FYCATHCHERS (at least five) were heard or seen. Then in its usual location was the BLUE-WINGED WARBLER singing at the end of the orchard in the ravine. Then I met Sara Jane and she told me about the Chat, but I went to a wrong location, but it was worth going there. Here I encountered another pocket of warblers consisting of several CHESTNUT- SIDEDS, TWO BLACK AND WHITE, ONE BAY BREASTED, ONE CAPE MAY, ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, FILED SPARROW, GREAT CRESTED FLYCATHCER and other usual birds. Also I saw three different BROWN THRASHER. One of the thrashers when it started calling in the NE corner, I was excited thinking I may be listening to a CHAT, but on locating the bird I found out it was a thrasher, still it was worth looking at the bird. Overall it was very slow in the orchard.
