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.
