Fall Warbler bonanza

After Ida's rains, I thought the Park might be exciting this morning. I was right! 33 spp, including four American Redstarts and this Tennessee Warbler at the back of the upper garden (along with Northern Parula and Common Yellowthroat)

a nice juvenile Northern Mockingbird on the soccer field

But the best display was in a birch and pine at the edge of Woodcock Meadow -- this fall Blackpoll Warbler ...

this Black-throated Green Warbler 

a pair of Northern Parulas

 

and, the best surprise of all, a beautiful Connecticut Warbler, only my second time seeing this bird! 

And an almost tail-less Song Sparrow permitted this portrait --
