Hello everyone.

I dropped by Gov Bridge Road Park this evening after speaking with
Chris Murray who had a CAPE MAY, a BLACKPOLL and a BLACKBURNIAN
WARBLER this afternoon.

I managed to locate the BLACKBURNIAN, and delighted to add NASHVILLE
and MOURNING WARBLER.

The MOURNING WARBLER was found on the trail that leads off to the left
from the parking lot to the open space / swamp / lake area (the canoe
launch is at the end of that gravel road).  On the right edge of the
road, just before it opens up, I spotted this first fall bird low in
the brush.  It flew deeper into the weeds and thankfully popped up
twice, providing some very brief, but adequate views of it's light
gray hood and it's eye-ring.  As I was leaving, the NASHVILLE was
feeding near the top of the small tree immediately to the left of the
Port-O-Pot (in the parking area).
