Warblers were definitely the headliners for this past Wednesday's "Warbler Wednesdays" birding outing. Fifteen species were recorded, and while the numbers of each were not large, many "ones" or "twos", the range and variety seen was gratifying.

The 23 birders participating had fine, memorable views of magnolia warblers (3). Other noteworthy sightings included a brilliantly, orange-hued blackburnian warbler and a yellow-throated vireo seen in a tree near the lake's spillway; the location where a nesting pair was seen last year.

A couple of unusual records vis a vis the walk's history were a barred owl and a common loon fishing out in the lake.

Thanks to George Clark and Blake Allison for leading, and thanks to Blake for keeping the species count.

The next "Warbler Wednesdays" event is to take place on May, 23.
