Hi all --

A bit slower than expected, considering the improved weather -- early on, 
before it got sunny, several warbler flocks moving fast and low in the 
undergrowth. Numbers were good for many species but diversity lower 
than hoped...

We did the Park down to the lake, and then a bit around Brookside Nature 
Center.

Birds of interest:

Pied-billed Grebe - 1
Great Blue Heron - 1 imm.
Green Heron - 1 (late?)
Red-shouldered Hawk - 2
Cooper's Hawk - 2
Chimney Swift -- ~ 8
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 1 (looked like classic R-T)
Eastern Wood-pewee - 1 (late)
Eastern Phoebe - 8
Blue-headed Vireo - 3
Red-eyed Vireo - 3
House Wren - 5
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 1-2
Eastern Bluebird - 1
Nashville Warbler - 5
Chestnut-sided Warbler - 3
Magnolia Warbler - 8
Myrtle Warbler - 1 FOS
Black-and-White Warbler - 3
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 8
Black-throated Green Warbler - 4
Common Yellowthroat - 6
Scarlet Tanager - 1 (male)
Eastern Towhee - 2
Chipping Sparrow - 3
Swamp Sparrow - 2
White-throated Sparrow - 3
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 1

Still good numbers of Catbirds about, also several flocks of Blue Jays 
passing by overhead.
