East Shore Park, New Haven: There was a good movement of warblers at East Shore park today. I arrived at Noon. I was later joined by Bill Asteriades. I estimate that there were 200+ warblers present. Many of them were not in the brush line parallel the water treatment plant, but were out in the open trees lining the soccer and baseball fields. I have never seen birds there before.
 
It was about 75% yellow rumped warblers, with a significant number of palms and blackpolls. There were also a fair number of golden-crowned kinglets.
 
other birds of note
 
N. Parula 2
pine warbler 2
nashville warbler 1
black-throated green 3
yellow warbler 1
ruby-crowned kinglet 1
dark-eyed junco 1
E. peewee 1
blue-headed vireo 1
