Late this evening a new yard bird: BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER!

Around 7:30 PM while I was sitting on the deck, I heard an unusual warbler
in the yard. At least two male Blackburnian Warblers were singing and
foraging in the blooming Tulip tree and adjacent Wild Cherry. One continued
to sing very loudly for about 20 minutes.
