I walked the trail between Melson's Park and Bradgate today in hopes of finding some Prothonotary Warblers. No PRWAs were observed (but I am sure they are there, the habitat may be slightly reduced from previous seasons but is largely intact).
Despite the above I did log at least ten species of warbler. Nothing super noteworthy. Yellow Warbler Magnolia Warbler Wilson's Warbler Mourning Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Black-and-White Warbler Ovenbird N. Waterthrush American Redstart Common Yellowthroat numerous thrushes were also noted, mostly Swainson's and Hermits. Also had a Warbling Vireo and a Red-eyed Vireo as well.
