I birded my place before I left work this morning and had a pretty good tally of warblers. When I got to Ocean Reef, I was greeted by many more warblers, the most I've ever seen out there. The ones I spotted were mostly American Redstarts, Cape Mays, Blackpolls, and Black-throated Blues. Many more were seen flying around, but I had to work. I'd still be there if I spent more time looking. Listed below are birds at my place.
