We spent an hour birding at Southard's Pond this morning hoping for a repeat of yesterday's movement. Unfortunately, bird numbers and variety seemed reduced, with our only new birds being Baltimore Oriole (2) and Prairie Warbler and a big influx of Catbirds.
At Sunken Meadow State Park we were treated to both the arrival of some of the park's breeders and migrating birds. Among the breeders were Orchard Oriole, Warbling Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, Eastern Kingbird, Marsh Wren, and Swamp Sparrow. Warblers included Nashville, Blue-winged (B), Palm, Prairie(B), Common Yellowthroat (B), Northern Parula, Northern Waterthrush, Ovenbird(B), Black & White Warbler (B), plus numerous Yellow(B) and Yellow-rumped Warblers. Late waterfowl included a single female Common Merganser, Hooded Merganser, Ring-necked Duck, and Green-winged Teal.
