We had a nice morning for a walk about at Hills Creek State Park. It was overcast and a little humid but the temperature stayed between 55 and 60 degrees.
There were a ton of warblers in the trees which means I'll be putting some hot compresses on my neck this afternoon! Most of the little buggers were Yellow-rumped Warblers but there were a few Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, and Magnolia Warblers, too. Hermit and Wood Thrushes were present along with the Ovenbirds although none of them were real easy to spot! The Red-eyed Vireo, usually very difficult to find in the tree tops, cooperated by picking an ash tree that hadn't yet leafed out as it's singing perch of choice.
We didn't see many water fowl except for the Canada Geese, but there were two ospreys and an adult Bald Eagle.
In any event, here's the list of species I compiled this morning:
