Milford Mill lived up to its reputation as a good warbler spot as our group of 13 took about 3 hours to make it around the small loop. Lots of birds, lots of activity. Fun to hear so much singing but wish we'd gotten more good looks. The back-light wasn't great at times, especially since many of the birds were high up--and leaves are coming out. We got some really prime warblers.
Warblers:
Blue-Winged Warbler (1)
Parula (many)
Black-Throated Blue (thinly throughout)
Yellow-Rumped (many)
Black-Throated Green (several)
BLACKBURNIAN (a few)
Black-and-White (2)
Redstart (thinly throughout)
WORM-EATING (2)
Ovenbird (several)
Northern Waterthrush (2-3)
Common Yellowthroat (couple)
WILSON'S WARBLER (1)
Other Birds:
VEERY (1)
Wood Thrush (many)
ACADIAN FLY (1-2)
Baltimore Oriole (1-2)
Scarlet Tanager (1)
RB Grosbeak (think a couple people saw one; I had one at my feeder yesterday)
Indigo Bunting (couple)
Bluebirds
White-Eyed Vireo
Next week is SusqSP which should be even better.
