Sorry for the delay in getting this report out. 
The warbler's were sparse (except yellow-rumped), and the weather was cold
for April. However, from the previous week we had several new birds for the 
season, Spring: Warbling Vireo, House Wren, Solitary Sandpiper, 
Baltimore Oriole, Orchard Oriole and Wood Thrush ( ever present in the deep
woods of Cylburn  filling the woods with their melodious and rapturous song ).

Next week will be double digit Warblers and probably a tanager.
