[CT Birds] 5/8 East Rock - Tons of Warblers

[Kevin Burgio]

If you are any good at IDing warbler songs - I recommend getting to East Rock now.  I was just there for about an hour and saw literally hundreds of warblers.  Sadly, since it was raining, I kept getting rain on my binoculars and the lighting was poor and I couldn't make very many solid IDs.  However, based on my limited amount of warbler song knowledge I did salvage an otherwise frustrating time.

Highlights: Blackburnian Warbler (4+), Chestnut-sided Warbler (1), Black-throated Green Warbler (1), American Redstart (5), Northern Parula (2), Red-eyed Vireo (1).

Other notables: Common Yellowthroat (6), Northern Waterthrush (1), Yellow-rumped Warbler (25+), Black and White Warbler (6).

Total species: 25.  Total warbler species: 9.
