I found 3 FOY birds at 4:45 pm Sunday: Eastern Kingbird, American Redstart, and Baltimore Oriole. The east- facing hillside of River Styx Park offered protection from the steady NW wind and 51 degree temperature. Much warbler action centered in wild cherry trees just starting into bloom: Nashville, Black-and-White, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Rump. Also found Blue-headed Vireo(singing), Yellow-Throated Vireo, many Blue-grey Gnatcatchers, several White-Throated Sparrows, 3 White-crowned Sparrows, a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, Crow, Red-Wing Blackbirds, Cardinals, Catbirds, Goldfinch, Tree Swallow, and 20+ Chimney Swifts. Not able to refind my previous Hooded Warbler, but elated to have arrived at the right time to see so much in only one hour.
