Jason McCurdy and I spent some time in Hickory Hill Park this morning. We found a few warblers. The best was a Blackpoll. I know how rare they are in the fall, but we got a good look at this critter. It was a chunky warbler with a yellowish head with an eyeline. The back had faint streaks. There were streaks on the side of the breast and two wingbars. The belly and undertail were white. And, it had yellowish legs and yellow feet. We also had the good luck to see a Bay-breasted a little later. Other warblers:
Magnolia Chestnut-sided Blackburnian Bay-breasted Black & White Am. Redstart Golden-winged Ovenbird.
