My plan was to cover two areas of Carver Park, that I didn't this morning.
The largest single warbler wave yet this spring changed those plans, and I only
birded a small area near King Blind. For those that don't know Carver Park is
a 3700 acre park near the town of Victoria. It has a wide variety of habitat,
22 miles of unpaved hiking trails, and 9 miles of paved trails. The number,
variety, and constant movement of warblers from King Blind to about 1/4 mile
north along the road that leads to the blind proved difficult to count, but I
did my best. Most birds were low or on the ground due to the rain and drizzle
including the Blackpoll who were often just a couple feet off the ground.
