We spent several hours of the late morning hiking around Clear Creek MetroPark, focusing on the Starner Rd area and the Fern Trail & Hemlock Trails.  Still lots of singing, but warbler diversity was a tad low, though numbers of several species seemed strong.  Notables included

Black Vultures - 3 were near Sugar Grove along US 33
Yellow-billed Cuckoo - heard one and saw another along the upper reaches of the Fern Trail
Flycatchers - good #s of Pewees, but Acadians were not very numerous
Vireos - good numbers of Red-eyed (35+) and Yellow-throated (5+).  No Blue-headed and only 2 White-eyed
Thrushes - plenty of Wood Thrushes.  Had single Hermits on both the Fern Trail & the Hemlock Trail.  No Veeries.
Mimids - normal #s of Catbirds, plus 2 different singing Thrashers along the main road

Warblers - good #s of Hooded (20+), Redstarts (15+), and Ovenbirds (12+, including several with fledglings).  Also had Yellow-throated, Yellows, Cerulean (only 3), Worm-eating (1 at mouth of Fern Tr.), Black-thr.Green (6+ , including 2 w/ fledglings, all around hemlocks), Magnolia (1 along Hemlock Trail), Black&White (6+), Prairie (1 singing along Cemetery Ridge Tr.), La.Waterthrushes (3-4), ComYellowthroats (8+).  NO Parulas (!) or Chesnut-sided, Pines, or Chats

Tanagers - only Scarlets, but did have 6+ singing, mostly in uplands away from creek
Rose-br.Grosbeaks - only 2 singing, in woods down along creek
Orioles - 4+ Baltimores along Creek, 1 Orchard around Starner meadows
