The number of warblers was simply phenomenal this evening. Warblers seen between Cortlawn Pond areas and Westwood Hills Nature Center, in order from most abundant to least:
Am. Redstarts (respond well to pishing) Yellow (singing) Yellow-rumped (singing) Tennesee (singing a lot) C. Yellowthroat (singing) B+W Nashville Chestnut-sided Magnolia Blackpoll Cape May (3-4 that hung close to Cortlawn) Northern Waterthrush Wilson's Ovenbird (singing) Palm Bay-breasted Blackburnian N. Parula Golden-winged (singing) Other birds seen/heard include Pine Siskin, R-B Nuthatch, Yellow-throated Vireo, Clay-colored Sparrow, and numerous Lincoln's Sparrow, along with other usual suspects. Aparently, there was a sighting of a Prothonotary Warbler at Cortlawn Pond on Sunday; however, I only found out about it today, and I could not relocate it. I wasn't able to relocate any B-C N Herons, either, and I haven't seen any for the past week. Good birding!!
