There was heavy cloud cover this morning. I got a late start and didn't get to the parkway until 10:00. It was quite breezy, and there was a lot of traffic on the parkway, so I did most of my birding along Route 610 between mm. 2 and 4 of the parkway. The dense trees along 610 stopped a lot of the wind, but it was a lot darker along this road. I located three small clusters of birds along 610. By 11:45, even 610 got more traffic than I wanted to avoid, so I left with 22 avian species on my morning list, including 7 warbler species.

The jewel weed along 610 is now blooming, and there were lots of migrating Ruby-throated Hummingbirds making their annual stop along 610 to fuel up.
