Given the slightly better looking weather forecast I started early at Southards Pond Park and despite getting fairly wet, was not disappointed. Warbler variety wasn't particularly great but the best of the lot was a singing Blue-winged Warbler. Also pleasing was a Yellow-throated Vireo showing well about 100 meters south of the south west corner of the pond. Other birds included:
40+ Yellow Warbler 7 Northern Parula 6 Black and white Warbler 2 Common Yellowthroat Yellow-rumped warbler Baltimore Oriole Ruby-throated Hummingbird Great crested Flycatcher Blue-headed, white-eyed, red-eyed and Warbling Vireos. It will be interesting to see what is found in some of the city parks today and in the coming days.
