A pleasant evening -- 62 species in total -- but none of the highlights from the morning were relocated. No Mourning Warbler, no Golden-winged Warbler, no Bay-breasted Warbler, etc.
I wasn't going to post at all but I thought it was worth mentioning that an American Redstart (AMRE) was singing and EXACT Nashville Warbler (NAWA) song at the picnic area "chat field." We heard "seebit-seebit-seebit titititi," identical to the NAWA song on all of my apps, but couldn't seem to find the bird among a small flock of redstarts. 15 minutes were spent trying to find it, until finally one of us watched an AMRE open its beak in perfect rhythm to the NAWA song. I want those 15 minutes back.
Just a heads-up for anyone going out there. I may never count a heard-only NAWA again if there are redstarts present!
