Hey everyone,

Another fantastic morning along Mink Brook- 18 warbler species! I started out along Quinn Trail where highlights were a Lincoln's Sparrow and 2 Nashville Warblers, as well as (what I'm guessing is the same bird as yesterday) a Canada Warbler and Wilson's Warbler foraging right before the entrance to the Mink Brook trail. Highlights along Mink Brook included a silent Alder Flycatcher, Veery, a friendly Wood Thrush, and Magnolia Warbler (including a stunning male). On my way back, with the sun now out, I stopped along Quinn Trail again and picked up a Warbling Vireo pair, a Western Palm Warbler, and a splendid male Blackpoll Warbler, as well as a couple more Wilson's Warblers (including some extremely close looks) and what might have been a second Canada Warbler (since this was seen on opposite ends of the path to the Mink Brook preserve). 

Below are my highlights/migrants along both Quinn Trail and Mink Brook Preserve, with the ebird links provided for the complete list. 

Cheers,
Kyle
