I drove to the Environmental Education Center area of Jacobsburg State Park where migration was in full swing. Of the 16 species of warblers, I managed to get photos of Blue-winged, Prairie, Chestnut-sided, Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue, and Louisiana Waterthrush.
The other warblers seen included Ovenbird, Black-and-white, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, Cape May, Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, Canada, and a very surprising Yellow-throated Warbler that disappeared before I could get a photo.
Other notables among the 59 species included Common Merganser, Spotted and Solitary Sandpiper, Pileated Woodpecker, Great Crested Flycatcher, Blue-headed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Veery, Swainson's and Wood Thrush, Field Sparrow, some lingering White-throated Sparrows, Baltimore Oriole, and Indigo Bunting.
From there, I ran into Adam Miller at the Sober's Run Loop Trail area of the park. Even though it was now after noon, there were a good number of birds still active. Birds of interest there included Ruby-throated Hummingbird and 12 species of warblers, among them Hooded, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Canada, Black-throated Blue and Black-throated Green.
It was definitely my best migration day of this Spring.
