Hi all, Today I spent a couple of hours at Hawthorn in the morning. Mostly it was quiet except for the singing Tennessee warblers.
My counts were as follows; Through out the orchard at various locations Tennessee at 7 Most of the other warblers I found in an oak tree near the North west corner. It was very hard to see them as they were hiding in the oak leaves. At one point everyone was quiet without movement for 10 minutes at least. I was wondering where they went as nobody was flitting. After waiting some time they became active again. May be there was a predator at that point. Bay Breasted Warbler (1 male and 1 female) Cape May Warbler (1 female) Black-throated Green (1 male and 1 female) Philadelphia Vireo (2) Red-eyed Vireo (several) There were many more warblers but could not get definite ID, one looked like a female Yellow-rumped but could have been a female Cape May as I never got wing pattern detail. Later I also found a singing Magnolia and a silent female/ or young Redstart. There were several Yellow Warblers and Common Yellowthroat. Other common birds but unusual birds were scarce.
