Birded yesterday and today at the arboretum with 16 warbler species in less
than 2 hours yesterday and 13 warbler species in 4 hours today. While today
I covered areas I birded during yesterday's shorter amount of time available,
many of the warblers seen today were in areas I did not have time to cover
yesterday. Some of the active areas yesterday(eastern portions of arboretum
property) were quiet today. The only migrant wave today was along the wooded
edges of the rhododendron garden south of the visitors center. Initially that
area was quiet, but when I returned 30 minutes later the wave was moving
through. Other migrants were scattered. Yesterdays birds were more in small
pockets of 3-5 birds at a time than any type of wave.
