Another amazing morning at Denison. There were many birds moving through for at least 45 minutes so it was impossible to get on all of them. On days like this I wonder how many warblers I miss. One of the first warblers I saw was a stunning Blue-winged lit up by the early morning sun. I also spotted another Wilson’s.
I managed to pin IDs on 15 species of warblers. Once again, Tennessees seemed to be the most numerous but there were several Nashvilles, Bay-breasteds and N Parulas. Early in the morning it was almost like spring in that I had singing N Parula, Tennessee and Bay-breasted. I also saw four Ovenbirds which must be some kind of record for one day at Denison.
Heard my FOS Swainson’s Thrush doing its “pit” call several times but I couldn’t spot it in the tangles. I heard a Least FC but also saw another small empid that was more yellow than the Least I saw the other day—prob a Yellow-bellied but it didn’t vocalize. A few BG Gnatcatchers were around. Got good looks at a imm male Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Beautiful day to be out.
Had a TN Warbler in my backyard yesterday while I was waiting for the plumber to finish. One Chimney Swift flew over the bike path last evening.
