I birded Hughes Hollow for a couple of hours this morning. This isn't a site I have found in the past to be all that good for migrants as there is nowhere to concentrate them but I had some really nice flocks this morning and saw 13 warbler species in all. At one point I had 6 species together in one 8ft willow sapling. So as others have said a good morning to be out.
Warbler species were:
Northern Parula - 5
Prothonotary - single bird
Canada - single bird
American Redstart - 5
Black-and-white - 5
Black-throated Blue - 3
Magnolia - c 10
Black-throated Green - also c 10
Blackburnian - 3
Chestnut-sided - 4
Blackpoll - 2
Palm - 1 (not with the others but by the cross-dike)
Common Yellowthroat
Also very common were E. Peewee; and had a Traill's and Acadian Flycatchers. There were around 15 or so Indigo Bunting in the open areas along the dikes.
The Hughes Rd polo grounds had 6 Pectoral Sandpipers.
Good birding
