Headlands again today was super! I did not arrive till late but still had a few nice surprises. We birded for about 4 1/2 hrs. Although we only saw 19 species of warblers, I believe 24-26 were reported. Magnolia warblers and Swainson's thrushes ( at least 35 ) were most numerous. Most of the Swainson's were high in the trees today. Mourning warblers easy to find ( I saw 4 of the 6 reported ). Wilson and Canada warblers everywhere. I have never heard so many Tennessee warblers singing. I managed a few nice shots too. My highlight was a beautiful Golden-winged warbler that put on a lovely show up close and personal. I also saw my first Yellow-bellied Flycatcher of the yr and there were quite a few. The Black-billed cuckoo also gave us great looks as well as a Yellow-throated Vireo and 2 Gray-cheeked Thrushes. Connecticut warbler also reported but not seen by me. It was 4 1/2 hrs of non-stop entertainment which came to an abrupt end when the thunderstorm hit. No time to cover the entire park. My only regret today is that I had the pleasure of sleeping in which doesn't happen too often. Can't wait till retirement!
