The Park held a nice group of migrants today. Both Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers were feeding along the edges of the Plover Pond as three Blue-winged Teal flew overhead. The number of Trees Swallows is growing as the birds gather to stage here during their molt. A mixed flock of warblers included Prairie, Pine, Magnolia and Yellow Warblers as well as an American Redstart. In the dappled sunlight, with brief glimpses, we thought we had a Blue-winged Warbler as well but photos revealed that bird to be a Prothonotary Warbler, one of our locally breeding warblers.
