As a number of people have already posted, it was a good morning despite the threatening weather. The rain mostly held off until after 9 am so my 7 - 9 am AMNH bird walk group only had to deal with the poor lighting. The group was rewarded for our relatively short run through the Ramble. Highlights included: Great Crested Flycatcher (vicinity of Upper Lobe) Yellow-throated Vireo (as above) Bue-headed Vireo (6+) House Wren (singing birds) Ruby-crowned Kinglet Hermit Thrush Wood Thrush Gray Catbird (many in now) Blue-winged Warbler (singing birds by Upper Lobe and Azalea and a male between the Tupelo Meadow and the Maintenance Meadow) Northern Parula Yellow Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Magnolia Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler (all over) Black-throated Green Warbler Black-and-white Warbler (many) Worm-eating Warbler (northeast of Upper Lobe) Ovenbird Common Yellowthroat Scarlet Tanager (2 males north of Azalea Pond) Chipping Sparrow Rose-breasted Grosbeak (pair east of Tupelo Meadow) Baltimore Oriole Joe DiCostanzo www.greatgullisland.org
