This venerable migrant trap continues to produce good birds.  In a 1.5 hour block this morning, I hardly got more than 100 yards from the Nature Center.  Between myself, Marcia Brehmer and Gene Stauffer, we had a steady stream of migrants.  Marcia & Gene will have more to add (since they stayed later), but the early highlights included:

Woodpeckers - sweep of the common ones, including a juvenile Sapsucker and a juvenile Red-headed; the latter was where the pipeline cut crosses the trail to Thoreau Lake

Flycatchers - still 3-4 Pewees calling here

Vireos - 2 Blue-headed and 1 Red-eyed were on the road west towards the picnic areas

Wrens,Kinglet - House Wrens were at several points along the pipeline cut, while a Ruby-cr.Kinglet was foraging near the Thoreau Lake trail.

Thrushes - 2-3 Swainsons were calling around the Nature Center; I thought I had a Gray-cheeked there as well, but didn't get a long enough look.

Warblers - 13 sp., the most unusual being a PRAIRIE along the pipeline cut just west of the Nature Center parking lot.  Also seen were Tennessee (3), Magnolia (7+), Chesnut-sided, Cape May, Black-thr.Green, Blackburnian, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted, Black & White, Redstart (5+), Ovenbird (heard), Com.Yellowthroat.  There were probably an equal number of warblers that moved through too quickly for ID.

Others - 2 E.Meadowlarks and 1 Bobolink were flyovers early, while a Scarlet Tanager was also along the pipeline cut
