An update to my post last week - I had noted that there was one warbler I wasn't sure of the identification...I finally got around to working on the photos, and have an ID of that one: it was a black-throated green warbler - it's a new bird for me, as I've never seen one previous...he was nice enough to get really close to my lens.
Aside from the whip-poor-will this weekend (spotted on Saturday, but not there on Sunday likely due to the rain the night before)...Green Cay also had good activity from the harrier on the hunt - the front entrance though I had no luck with the chat this weekend, there were prairie, pine, palm, and yellow-rumped warblers, B&W warbler, northern parula, and an extremely high number of grey catbirds (in the dozens). Two ovenbirds hanging out under the right feeder, with lots of painted buntings present. A better look at the buntings was at the T-intersection where they were often bathing at the water's edge right off the boardwalk - nice to get shots of them without a feeder cage. Several forster's terns were hunting fish. A single merlin flew over twice at the northwest end. And I spotted the first sandpiper of the season (first I've seen, anyway) - a lone solitary sandpiper in the mucky shallows along the north end.
