I spent three hours this morning at A.D. Barnes park, turning up fifteen species of warblers and three species of vireos. Numbers were low, and diversity was low as far as other passerine families go.
The highlights were two Prothonotary Warblers feeding side by side in Homeless Hammock. They could be seen from the trail that cuts through the east side of the hammock. Shortly after, I saw a Prothonotary Warbler feeding in the figs by the lake. It is difficult to determine that it was a third individual, but I believe it could have been. The rest of the warblers were the expected species, with the best out of them being Magnolia and Tennessee.
Broad-winged and Sharp-shinned Hawks, American Kestrel, Chuck-will's-widow, Red-eyed, White-eyed, and Yellow-throated Vireos, Gray Catbird and two Summer Tanagers were among the migrants present.
