We did another bird walk this morning. Today we visited Colton Point State Park on the western rim of the Grand Canyon of PA. The idea was to see all the warblers that typically stop off there as spring time rolls around but while there were numerous individuals of select species, things weren't as happening as we thought they might be. Most of the trees have yet to leaf out and the warblers typically like the young leaves and the insects they attract. We tallied only 18 species in a two hour walk along the canyon rim. The highlights included many Blackburnian and Black-and-white Warblers as well as a Red-eyed Vireo and a Blue-headed Vireo. Here's the entire report I submitted to eBird:
