Hello!

I just returned from a morning of birding the first part of the pet trail  at
Highbanks.  I arrived around 9 AM and was immediately greeted in the  area
just beyond the water fountain by a "swarm" of warblers and other  birds.  I
continued on along the muddy path to the north through a wooded  section to where
it crosses over a small culverted stream where I encountered a  second
"swarm".  There were so many birds that there were times when I  could not decide
which ones to try to look at through the binoculars.   The following is a list
of the birds that I was able to observe and  hear:

Blackpoll Warbler
Northern Parula-3
Chestnut-Sided Warbler-numerous
Yellow-Rumped Warbler-numerous

Hooded Warbler
Black-Throated Green Warbler-a few
