Hi Peter,
The floodgates stayed open for a second day with this wave of new arrivals. It felt a lot more like the second week of May than the last day of April. The highlights were many: just an incredible number of Northern Parulas singing everywhere, two Worm-eating Warblers on Lookout, a Cape May and Blackpoll on the SW side of the lake, and one of the last birds of the day, a Bay-breasted Warbler, by the broken stairs. At the Ambergill, which we went to after a coffee break at the Picnic House, we were treated to a number of warblers, like Nashville and Hooded, bathing in the creek. Our warbler count ended up at 21 species. Perhaps the biggest cheer though went to the male Scarlet Tanager we found above the Boulder Bridge, on a snag in the sunlight after the fog had lifted, the first of the season for most there (and a lifer for a few).
Here is the list for what was a great day: https://ebird.org/checklist/S171174122
Angie and Sheila will be co-leading for Bobbi next week.
