It was a beautiful day for birding! The birds were in full song all morning. I have never heard as many Northern Parulas singing as I did today! Also many Chestnut-sided Warblers and Ovenbirds added to the chorus. The highlights of today were seeing 2 Mourning Warblers and all the Evening Grosbeaks, which we haven't seen often in the past 10 years.
