Hey everyone,
 
Thursday afternoon/evening I went to Mink Brook to see if any migrants had arrived. Before I could get very watch I watched two Black-and-white Warblers fighting each other pretty close to me; one even had the tail feathers of the other in its beak before letting go. I saw a Carolina Wren, I think the first I have seen at Mink Brook, but the highlight was a male NASHVILLE WARBLER near the end of the trail. Such a great species to observe. 
 
I also had a 'spring' azure at some mud on the trail. Below is the list of species I had. 
 
Cheers,
Kyle Kittelberger
