I'm confessing that I officially love the Hawthorn Orchard during migration !
I've only been able to get there in late afternoon yesterday and today, but
still had 46 and 51 total species with 15 different Warblers. I missed some
warblers, like Orange-crowned and Ovenbird, so 20+ warbler
Not to detract in any way from the spectacularly magnetic Hawthorn Orchard, but
I too found 15 warbler species today, without moving more than 1000 feet from
my house, and probably could have made it 20 without leaving the greater West
Danby area. There are lots of birds around!
