First, in the maintenance yard, warblers seen: Prairie, Blue-winged, Chestnut-sided, American Redstart, Black-and-White, and Ovenbird. Other birds included Baltimore Orioles, Wood Thrush, and Red-eyed Vireo. For the second time this week, a Belted Kingfisher was flying overhead, usually being harassed by hummingbirds. On the way out, I noticed that the dog run was dog-free. The area by the parking lot turned out to be quite birdy. I again saw Black-and-white and Prairie Warblers along with Northern Parula and Common Yellowthroat.
