When I first entered Alley this morning it was relatively quiet, but as time wore on activity picked up. I suppose the birds were falling out of the sky as the weather got wetter. at Alley I saw 3 Lincoln's Sparrows (1 by each of the two parking fields and one by where the Kentucky was spotted last Saturday) 2 Canada Warblers 1 Worm-eating Warbler 1 Yellow-throated Vireo 3-4 Blackpoll Warblers 9-12 Chestnut-sided Warblers and a few Black-throated Blue's. As well as large numbers of Magnolia, Redstarts, Yellow-rumped, Yellow, Parula, Black-and-White, BT Green, Ovenbirds, N. Waterthrushes, 2 Palm Warblers, 1 Blue-winged, A good number of Scarlet Tanagers, Orioles and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. Lots of Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireos.
At Kissena there were Bobolinks (at least 12) first reported by Gina Goldstein in the Velodrome. I also found 1 Nashville Warbler, 1 Prairie, and 2 bright blue Indigo Buntings. At Big Egg Marsh of note (at least for me) were I think 2 Clapper Rails, still trying to ID the photo having never seen either Clapper nor King Rail before I just want to make sure of what they are.
