This morning I went to Murphy-Hanrehan in hopes of coming across a Hooded and/or Cerulean Warbler. No luck on either of those, but did have about 60 species for the morning. One of the first was a Mourning Warbler singing incessantly near trail marker 14. Blue-Winged Warblers were scattered in good numbers throughout the park. I went eye-to-eye with a Scarlet Tanager for about 2 minutes as it preened in some very low branches and got some nice photos. Multiple Veery singing, and a handful of Wood Thrush as well, between #16 and #17. Grasshopper, Field and Clay-Colored Sparrows in the prairie (between #31 and #28), as well as a Yellow-Billed Cuckoo between #28 and #26, which was the highlight for me. One each of Willow and Acadian Flycatchers were also both seen and heard.
