Hi all,
I birded Algonkian Park in Sterling this morning and had 8 warbler species,
including: BAY-BREASTED, BLUE-WINGED, CHESTNUT-SIDED, PRAIRIE, NORTHERN
PARULA, YELLOW, PALM, and lots and lots of YELLOW-RUMPED.
Also, found my first YELLOW-THROATED VIREO of the year and a male HOODED
MERGANSER in the middle of the river.
