Today's field trip to Shelby Park and Bottoms was pleasant, with wonderful
weather and nice birding. Fourteen birders participated in the walk, and we
observed forty-one species. Magnolia Warblers and American Redstarts were
extremely abundant, seeming to be at nearly every corner. A Least Flycatcher
perched briefly on a low branch provided the first empidonax challenge of the
day. Finally, we had simply fantastic looks at a Philadelphia Vireo (a great
spot by Joshua Stevenson!) at Mission Hill. A huge thank you to NTOS member
