I spent ¾ of an hour at the arboretum in the morning. As I about to leave the actions started to happen. A Chickadee flock came with assorted species of warblers. Interestingly all warblers dove in the same trees and spent some time there and then to a next tree. They spent a lot of time in ash, walnut and oaks. The flock consisted of American redstarts. Magnolia lots of them Canada Warbler Chestnut-sided (2) Common Yellowthroat Black-throated Greens (several) Blackburnian Hooded Warbler female or a young (which came very close to me and sat on an exposed branch for several seconds Philadelphia Vireo and nice little plum and chunky bird Red-eyed Vireos Then it was time to head back. But it was soul satisfying!
I will try going during lunch hours a little later!
