I expected one of the several other people who were at Jackson Park last
Saturday to report what was there, but since Wayne couldn't make it that day I
guess I shouldn't have assumed that. Anyway it was a very good day there
warbler-wise as was mentioned by Jeff. I'm not sure what weather conditions
made that day such a good one, maybe because it was just ahead of a cold front
but stopped by southerly winds. Anyway, the trees were loaded. I did not
keep a count of each species, but they were roughly:
Blue-winged Warbler - 3
Golden-winged Warbler - 3 or 4
Tennessee Warbler - 5 to 10
Northern Parula - 2 or 3
Chestnut-sided Warbler - numerous, no idea how many total
Magnolia Warbler - maybe 10 or so
Black-throated Green Warbler - 3 to 5
Blackburnian Warbler - 5 to 8
Yellow-throated Warbler - 2 I think
Black and White Warbler - maybe 5
American Redstart - 5 to 10
Hooded Warbler - 3 to 5
Canada Warbler - 4 or 5
We haven't gotten the big wave of Tennessees in the southern mountains yet.
From the northern mountains report, though, it sounds like we should expect
them soon. Other migrants seen included Red-eyed and White-eyed Vireos,
Scarlet Tanager, Baltimore Oriole, GC Flycatcher, Peewee, and a few empids.
Strangely, there were no thrushes. Anyway, it was a fun morning.
