Marc Ribaudo, Kurt Gaskill, and I had a cool/cold, mostly dry morning from
7:00-12:00 at Leesylvania. I tallied 49 species, 14 warbler, but Marc's and
Kurt's lists hold more. The meadow was active from 7:30-9:30. Primarily
flycatchers initially with a very yellow Yellow-bellied Flycatcher feeding at
the Pawpaw grove, a Traill's, and several Phoebes. A good number and variety of
warblers were seen here, including 2-4 Blackburnian W., mainly in the trees on
the east side. The best flurry of warblers was at Bushy Point near the boat
house in the rain from 10:30-11:00 with good looks at a Blackburnian W., a
bathing male Cape May W., and at least one Pine Warbler. Magnolia W. were still
predominant, but in much fewer numbers than the last two weekends.
