A little late to the posting but we had two of us we had to compile our
sound and visuals on. Many firsts for me and some shocking actually.
Found two Cerulean Warblers calling on the south end of the ridge trail
high in the trees. Could get a glimpse of a silhouette for 20 minutes
moving back and forth to get a better angle and they kept calling and
calling. Had a beautiful view of a Chestnut-Sided Warbler (they always
seem to pose for me.)
I've heard and read about Weston for years and how it's ground zero for
viewing and spring migration especially warblers and we could have spent
days there, me, my wife and son. It was amazing and lived up to the
billing.
