Greetings all - 
A fantastic day on the Magee Marsh boardwalk (complete update to follow this evening) with over 25 species of warblers recorded, plus additional highlights of Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes, Veery, Least and Great Crested Flycatchers, and a mix of late "wintry" species: Dark-eyed Junco, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Pine Siskin. Species diversity was good. Thursday and Friday's forecast (Friday in particular) looks brilliant. BE ON THE BOARDWALK on Friday. 
A single BELL'S VIREO was heard briefly singing four times from marker 5 on the boardwalk. This is very near the main west entrance to the boardwalk, and east of the "tower" on the boardwalk by several hundred feet. The vireo was singing from a deep scrub area near the base of a string of large willows and Bald Cypresses, in an open clearing. 
Additionally, the TRICOLORED HERON is still present at Metzger Marsh, observed from both the first and second pulloffs.
