Raven Rock State Park warblers on 4/5/03



I was at the gate at Raven Rock when it opened at 8:00 a.m. today. I walked part of the main trail and the loop provided by the Little Creek trail. I heard more than I saw, given the increasing wind and cloud cover. Here are the warblers:

northern parula: many, seen and heard
yellow-throated warblers: several, seen and heard
black and white warblers: several, heard only
ovenbird: two, heard only
prairie warbler: female, probably first spring, seen clearly at close range

There were other interesting birds, but nothing unusual. Blue-gray gnatcatchers were everywhere!
