My husband Jim and I birded Susquehanna State park and picked up 17 
warbler species.  Highlights were YELLOW BREASTED CHAT on the trail behind 
the picnic area, CANADA WARBLER up on the ridge trail by Rock Run and BLUE 
WINGED WARBLER at the entrance to the picnic parking area.  Others were 
NORTHERN PARULA, YELLOW WARBLER, BLACK THROATED BLUE, YELLOW 
RUMPED, BLACK THROATED GREEN, CERULEAN, BLACK AND WHITE. AMERICAN 
REDSTART, PROTHONOTORY, WORM EATING, OVENBIRD, LOUISIANA 
WATERTHRUSH, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT and BLACKPOLL WARBLERS were 
everywhere!
Next stop was Swan harbor which is always pleasant- we picked  up 3 FOY 
BANK SWALLOWS with the many TREE and BARN.  INDIGO BUNTING, BLUE 
GROSBEAK, EASTERN PEWEE and GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER were spotted 
in the woodland trail.  We flushed one BOBOLINK and several WILSON's SNIPE 
along the marsh trail as well as SOLITARY SANDPIPER.  Good day for a spring 
migration!
