A (non-singing) Kentucky Warbler was found by Tom Perlman at the Loch
in the north end of Central, shortly before 1 p.m. & at least 8

It was a very good day along the lake, despite the wild weather (perhaps
because of it). Betsy and I tallied 20 species of warblers with lots of
individuals, including 14 species in our yard. The Chat was at

I got a good look at a singing Mourning Warbler early this morning. The bird
was just west of the Kaplan Trail near the junction with the Blue blazed trail
where it heads east to Lily Pad Pond. The Mourning was seen by others later in

reported to me managed to just eek out 100! Highlights inclu
