I again birded National Park Drive. I recorded Osprey, Pileated Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Eastern Phoebe, Great Crested Flycatcher, Yellow-throated and Red-eyed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Brown Thrasher, Eastern Bluebird, Veery, Wood Thrush, Cedar Waxwing, Field and Chipping Sparrow, Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, and warblers that included Ovenbird, Blue-winged, Blackpoll, Black-and-white, and Hooded Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, and Northern Parula. A White-eyed Vireo was a pleasant surprise.
The other surprise was a probable Golden-winged Warbler. I say "probable" because I heard this bird singing the Golden-winged Warbler song for several minutes, but I never could visually find the bird. Unfortunately because of that, I couldn't positively rule out that this wasn't a Blue-winged or a hybrid singing a Golden-winged song. I have a Merlin recording that identified the bird as a Golden-winged eleven times!
The Tatamy Exit retention pond held 2 Killdeer, 4 Semipalmated Plovers, 9 Least Sandpipers, and 3 Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
