I guess the adult Bald Eagle I saw driving to Clear Creek MP was a good omen! For about an hour this AM, there were so many warblers & other songbirds darting thru the trees at Clear Creek that there was no hope I could get on them all. In just about every direction at the parking lot by the cabins, birds were dripping from the trees. Making matters worse, the activity was fast-moving amongst the still-leafed trees. I'm sure I missed a lot of species but it was such an amazing sight even if I couldn't possibly get on everything. I've seen spectacles like this in Cape May NJ at Higbee Beach with a good fall-out, the major difference being there are many eyes to help in Cape May but I had the whole place to myself this AM. Acknowledging that species were likely missed, I think the overall warbler numbers exceeded the number of species.

Then all the birds were gone, just like that. I checked several other locations in the park but it was quiet everywhere else except for Am Goldfinches & a heard Red-shouldered Hawk.

Here is what I was able to ID. Tennessee Warblers seemed to be the dominant warbler with groups of 5 or 6 at times. Large grps of Chickadees, Tufted Titmice & Wht-br Nuthatches that were v vocal. Lots of Cedar Waxwings.

I also got some FOS birds: Yellow-breasted Sapsucker, Swamp Sparrow as well as a Lincoln's Sparrow.
