  This evening Fred Shaffer and I walked around Governor Bridge Natural 
Area. I spotted the GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER not too far from where I had 
it with Jeff Shenot last night. If you walk down the narrower gravel 
road from the parking lot that heads to the canoe launch, you'll get to 
an opening with a small pond on your right. You can go left and down a 
small hill to the river and canoe launch, or you can go right on a path 
that heads into the woods. The Golden-winged was at the opening of the 
woods on the right path. It was feeding with several other warblers, 
including at least one Tennessee Warbler.

Fred was keeping the list, which gave me a much welcomed break, but here 
are some of the other highlights/warblers:

Least Flycatcher

Tennessee Warbler
Northern Parula
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart
Prothonotary Warbler
Common Yellowthroat

I suspect the Golden-winged will move on with the weather change 
tonight, but hopefully some new birds move in behind it.
