Hi Peter, I did 2 hours in the park this morning. There had clearly been a fall of migrants because the mix of warblers was very different to yesterday. For example I heard 10 BTGreen yesterday and not one today. I only got as far as the Terrace Bridge, so who knows what goodies were in the rest of the park. The Wilson's Warbler was just behind the barbecue area at the bottom of lookout hill and the blackburnian and bay-breasted were just further up behind there:
Warblers (17 species)
1 bay-breasted
1 northern waterthrush
1 blackburnian
1 wilson's
2 chestnut-sided
3 magnolia
3 yellow
3 Nashville
4 Canada
4 yellowthroat
5 BTBlue
5 B&W
6 ovenbird
11 parula
50+ yellow-rumpled
12+ redstart
11 blackpoll
Also:
1 cedar waxwing
8 warbling vireo
c10 Baltimore oriole
2 orchard oriole

1 great created flycatcher
1 white-throated sparrow
3 house wren
2 scarlet tanager

From leader Tom Stephenson:
Hi Peter,
Another great day. We had about 25 people who braved what looked like rain, but then turned great.
The Park is still very busy, and we had activity in just about every part we had time to visit.
Some highlights:
83 species, 20 warblers including Mourning (brief, unfortunately), at least 5 Blackburnian, 3 Canada, 2 Wilson's, Bay-breasted in great views, and more.
Flycatchers are beginning to show up. We had a Traill's sp, Least and another, probably Acadian. Also, thanks to Ann we had Phila Vireo and thanks to Bobby and Stanley a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest in the rose garden area!
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
