Well, the Parulas have already begun to assert their dominance at Susquehanna State Park. I had 15 today, and there were plenty more, certainly, out there. Predictably this was an eBird "High Count," but Susquehanna isn't a typical location, and a high number for, especially, Parulas isn't surprising here. I saw a Black-and-White with a flock of Pines and Yellow Rumps. I picked it out b/c of its unique behavior (walking on branches). Still no Prothonotary--I checked many good spots--and no Ovenbirds.
Warblers today:
Black-and-White Warbler (1)
Louisiana Waterthrush (6)
Common Yellowthroat (3)
Palm Warbler (2, yellow)
Pine Warbler (3)
Yellow-Rumped Warbler (55)
Northern Parula (15)
Yellow-Throated Warbler (5)
And some non-warblers: House Wren, Merlin, White-Eyed Vireo.
I was out there less than 4 hours--and felt rushed. I wish I could have stayed 6 or 7.
All good birding wishes,
Tim Houghton
