The Clapper Rail continues in the same location across from the Wellhouse. At roughly 8:15am a Yellow-throated Warbler was heard singing on the top of Lookout Hill (and subsequently photographed. It was last seen near the Maryland Monument.
The park was quieting down as the clouds rolled in, but it was extremely active from first light till 7:00am at the Vale of Cashmere. 17 species there alone in a 1 hour stationary count. Highlights from the morning included; Blackburnian Warbler Nashville Warbler Prairie Warbler Blue-winged Warbler Yellow-throated Vireo Great-crested Flycatcher Rose-breasted Grosbeak Scarlet Tanager White-crowned Sparrow Bank Swallow Countless migrants continued north out of the park for the first few hours of daylight. It was an impressive sight! Good birding!
