Hi all,
The recent storm continues to produce some great April birding. In the dense fog at Bailey Island this morning, pockets of migrants (mostly Yellow-rumped Warblers and White-throated Sparrows) yielded a number of surprises, led by 1 male HOODED WARBLER and
1 WHITE-EYED VIREO along Elden Point Road. A total of 9 Blue-headed Vireos included a flock of 6 together, and there were scattered other migrants such as Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Hermit Thrushes, and Savannah Sparrows.
An early Yellow Warbler was also present, as were marginally-early (based on the current progress of the season) included 1 Common Yellowthroat and 1 Great-crested Flycatcher, while other personal FOY's included more on-time Black-and-white Warbler (7) and Ovenbird (1-2). 11 Palm Warblers were my seventh species of warbler on the morning.
Imagine if we had every peninsula and island covered these past two days???
