Among eleven species of warblers between the two parks today, I had an Alder Flycatcher and a Veery.
Among the species of migrants:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird- 4
Alder Flycatcher- gave a single call in response to a recording of both Willow and Alder Flycatcher calls; the call it gave was unlike a call given by an Alder that I have heard, and for a few moments I thought I had a Willow. It was the 5th one down on the Xeno-Canto library of Alder calls: http://www.xeno-canto.org/browse.php?query=Alder+Flycatcher+%28Empidonax+alnorum%29+24&species_nr=lnqpxr
Red-eyed Vireo- 5
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher- 15
Veery- 1; under the chickee just east of the Arch Creek museum
Ovenbird- 10
Worm-eating Warbler- 2
Louisiana Waterthrush- 1; feeding along blue tarp at Arch Creek
Black-and-white Warbler- 4
American Redstart- 2
Northern Parula- 5
Magnolia Warbler- 1; appears to be the same individual frequenting horse stable perimeter
Black-throated Blue Warbler- 6
Palm Warbler- 1
Yellow-throated Warbler- 1
Prairie Warbler- 3
There are also several stunning Atala Butterflies around the coontie in the SW corner of Enchanted Forest. Another highlight was a species of silk moth, which appeared to be a Polyphemus Moth.
