Delware State Park is located 6 miles north of the city of Delware,
off of Rte 23. I spent 3 days this week at the park. Birds were seen
constantly except for the Warblers. I found 5 different flocks of
songbirds with Warblers.1 flock had 5 warblers, 3 flocks had 3 warblers
& 1 flock had 1 warbler. In these flocks there were generally Baltomore
Oriole & E Wood Peewee singing. The birds were active in various trees
with fruit &/or seeds that were attracting insects. Many of the birds
were catching insects on the wing
