I went down to Kendall Lake in the CVNP this morning in part to look for the Prairie Warbler that Bill Osborne discovered about 10 days ago. For the second time I struck out on that bird but ended up with 58 species, while hiking the Kendall Lake Trail over to Little Meadow and on to the little loop of the Salt Run Trail.
I had eight warbler species including two Louisiana Waterthrush who were chipping and bobbing constantly on territory in a hemlock ravine on the Salt Run Trail, single Cerulean and Pine Warblers, seven Ovenbirds,  and 11 Red-eyed Vireos.
Over the last few days many species have become more quiet and therefore seem less numerous than they were a week or two ago presumably because they are busy feeding fledglings, but it was a lovely and quite birdy morning in the valley. Full species list follows.
