This morning I tried walking from Ferry Drive to Lock 19 at Vischer Ferry hoping for more migrant songbirds, and I wasn't disappointed despite a little rain at first. I heard 13 different warbler species including: Yellow, Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, American Redstart, Black-throated Green, Magnolia, Black-throated Blue, Black-and-white, Nashville, Canada, Bay-breasted, Chestnut-sided, and Northern Parula. Other migrants include: Least Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Indigo Bunting, Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole. The Canada Warblers were well-represented with about as many heard singing as you might find at Fox Hill Rd. on territory. The best spot was on the road/path that goes off to the left when you are walking toward Lock 19 from Ferry Drive. This path is about half-way to Lock 19.
