A bit belated, but just a quick note that on Saturday morning I birded
Algonkian Park (from the boat ramp area, moving up past the swimming pool
area) in Sterling and found 7 warbler species, including BLACKBURNIAN,
CERULEAN, BLACK-AND-WHITE, NASHVILLE, YELLOW, PALM, and many, many
YELLOW-RUMPED.
Also a couple of singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS (to the right of the boat
ramp).
