Hello all!
We got to Murphy Hanrehan at around 8:30 this morning and drove to the 
entrance of the marked wood-trail with the gate at the entrance. Things 
were everywhere at the start of it. Kinglets and White-throated sparrows 
were all over, and in the bunch of them we spotted 1 Black-throated 
Green warbler, a Magnolia, and a Black & White. Ovenbirds were screaming 
throughout the woods as well.
   We took the trail leading off the the left as you come to the split 
in the trail. As we walked, I picked out the Hooded Warbler's call from 
up the trail. We got up there and sure enough, he came right out and 
said hi. It sounded like there were at least 2 Hooded Warblers later on. 
At the next split, we took the left trail and spotted a Blue-winged 
Warbler at the end of it in the start of the field. We turned back then 
and spotted an Ovenbird singing away in the trees. The Yellow-throated 
Vireos decided to come out then, and we heard and saw a quite a few. A 
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was at the split in the trail, along with a 
flycatcher we couldn't ID. (It kept flying from hidden spot to hidden spot.)
   After that, it got quieter, so we walked the loop, seeing a Hermit 
and a Gray-cheeked Thrush.
We went for a quick look at the Pet Trails after that, but it was 
getting late. All we spotted was our first Rose-breasted Grosbeak, many 
Yellow Warblers, a Field Sparrow, and some bluebirds. There was also a 
small snapping turtle lying right on the path going out the lake when 
you first get there. We also spotted our first American Redstart in the 
parking lot.

Warblers seem to be coming in!
