John Stup and Mark England arrived at the same time I did, so we birded
together most of time until Mark had to leave, after which John and I
carried on. Lots of birds around, mostly regulars, but a couple of
species that I see rarely, Blue-winged and Tennessee Warblers (thanks to
Mark's persistence). I'll list what I saw below, but while Mark and I
wandered off looking for non-existent Canada Warblers, John encountered
a very nice migrant flock that included the following:
Northern Parula
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Black-and-White Warbler
Another birder we encountered (please send me your name if you read
this) mentioned seeing a Nashville Warbler and some American Redstarts
near the old school (which has recently been repainted, now looking
pretty spiffy).
