I just got back from a 3 hour walk at the Sycamore Plains Trail of Prairie
Oaks MP.  It was gorgeous, and the birds were very active despite the
afternoon sun. I ran into several large, loose flocks of warblers down by
the Big Darby Creek along the trail.  The Blue-winged Warbler was in a tree
next to the tall-grass fields, and allowed me to watch from close-range for
quite a while.  I also had a Yellow-throated Warbler come down on a branch
about 8-10 feet from me to check me out.  Pretty cool!  Here is my list:

Nashville Warbler - 3
Black-throated Green Warbler - 6, 5 males, 1 female
Blue-winged Warbler - 1, brilliant adult male
Black-and-white Warbler - 4, all males
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 6
