Warblers have continued to be quite consistent at Carver Park Reserve with 24
species the past three days. Sunday(May 19th) I found 15 warbler species,
Monday 18, and today 20. I covered a bit less area than I did when I was out
on Saturday May 18. Today though I spent nearly the same amount of time as
Saturday as leaf-out has finally slowed birding a bit. Blackpoll Warbler
numbers dropped significantly as did most other species numbers Sunday compared
to Saturday(only found 7 Blackpoll). Yesterday Blackpoll numbers had
increased, and today they had increased even more. Yesterday a male Hooded
Warbler was near the nature center. Highlighted counts from today are below.
