I wanted to see if any new warblers had shown up on the parkway between mm. 0 and mm. 14, and parallel Route 610 between mm. 2 and mm. 4 of the parkway. I ended up with about 20 avian species, including 7 warbler species. Pine Warblers and Ovenbirds were heard-only warbler species. There did seem to be more warblers up there than I saw/heard a week ago, but still seeing males singing for mates high up in the trees, and no females yet.
