With all the rain and high temperatures, the foliage has exploded, making seeing birds a challenge. During this past week, I have heard (H) seven warbler species on the parkway: American Redstart (P), Cerulean (P), Hooded (P), Kentucky (H), Ovenbird (S), Pine (H), and Worm-eating (S), but have only been able to see (S) five of the species, and photograph (P) three of them.
