Hi all, Roi Dor and I did a short walk on the first part of the Wilson Trail (north). Most birds were quiet, but still there. Lots of YELLOW WARBLERS, 1 WARBLING VIREO, 1 YELLOW-THROATED VIREO (singing in the distance), a great look at a ground foraging OVENBIRD, 1 female CHESTNUT -SIDED WARBLER, 1 singing and then skulking WILSON'S WARBLER, several REDSTARTS, 2 male and 1 female ORIOLE, including a male in that wonderful white blooming pear tree. Also, a TOWHEE hopping along in the path by the bench, just past the bend past the platform (does that make sense??). He was kicking up leaves and didn't seem too bothered by our passage. We turned back shortly after the bench. Oh yes - an OSPREY was seen, first sitting in the unoccupied GBH nest, then flying over the pond a few times before heading off to the north. Cheers! laura
