Due to a later start I missed the Mourning Warbler and the Nighthawks but
can add Canada Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler and Yellow-rumped
Warbler to the list of warblers seen at this park this morning. Also at this
park this morning were at least five Baltimore Orioles, mostly females, at
least two Orchard Orioles, Acadian Flycatcher, Cedar Waxwings and somewhat
surprisingly a Belted Kingfisher heard in flight as I walked the trail
through the woods. Great Crested Flycatchers and Indigo Buntings were
conspicuous, along with several chattering House Wrens which allowed close
approach. Also one Molly Ross.

To add to David Farmer's earlier posting, four Common Nighthawks were
observed flying north at about 6:00 am today. I feel compelled to add that
Cape Mays seem to be almost common this spring, at least at CF Smith.. They
have been present 7 of the past 9 days, at least two birds on 6 of those 7
days.
