I'll attach a partial list below, but we encountered something peculiar that I'd like opinions on. When we first arrived, there a number of yellow warblers around, singing vigorously. We were watching them and other birds when we heard a very clear song of a Hooded Warbler, repeated several times. We tried for some time to find the Hooded, but finally discovered that the Hooded song was coming from one of the Yellow Warblers. We've never encountered this before, and wonder if others have. It was a remarkable imitation, and it makes me question the Hooded that I heard there three weeks ago.
