A very good birding morning at Ledges State Park today, especially for warblers. There were more redstarts than I've ever encountered in one place, and it looks like there was also a very big fallout of Wilson's. Here's my list from a 2.5 hour hike: : Tennessee (many) Orange-crowned (2) Yellow (8) Chestnut-sided (2) Magnolia (1) Yellow-rumped (many) Black-throated Green (1) Blackburnian (1) Black-and-white (1) American Redstart (50+) Ovenbird (2) Northern Waterthrush (1) Common Yellowthroat (7) Wilson's (25+) Canada (1)
Besides warblers, some other observations of note were a Pileated Woodpecker, perhaps a dozen Least Flycatchers, 2 Blue-headed Vireos, and 5 Swainson's Thrushes.
