I saw Nashville Warblers at both the Bloomington bass ponds and at Crosby Farm park Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. I also saw what I believe was a Palm Warbler Sat morning.
I saw a lot of Blue Jay activity at Crosby Farm Sat. Morning, they were noticeably active and flying here and there in groups. Brian T. On Sun, Sep 8, 2019 at 9:42 PM Bernard P.
