Before listing what I saw and heard, I need to say that I am envious that my partner found a Whip nest with 2 eggs! I saw a female Nashville Warbler, and 110 meters away was a singing male. Last year the project failed to establish any NAWA territories, so we'll be paying close attention to this one. American Redstarts Black-throated Green Warblers Black-throated Blue Warblers Blackburnian warblers Black-and-white Warblers Cerulean Warblers Yellow Warbler Blue-gray Gnatcatchers Indigo Buntings Worm-eating Warbler Blackpoll Warblers (had one today at Green Ridge) Swainson's Thrushes still singing Found one Scarlett Tanager nest at least 15 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, including a pair copulating (I need to start a list for that...) Cedar Waxwings have invaded the area in a big way. I first noticed this during the Mineral County, WVA count on Sat, when we had as many as 200 in my area. Every day this week they've run interference for the birds this study focuses on, being loud and moving constantly. I'll be leading an MOS trip to Lily Pons and Oland Road on Sat, so I'll see a couple of you then.
