Tink Moyer and I birded along the first 24 miles of the parkway, and parallel Route 610 between mm. 2 and mm. 4 of the parkway. I ended up with about 20 avian species, including 6 warbler species. I saw and heard Black and White Warblers and Wood Thrushes, and heard a Barred Owl. Tink headed south from mm. 24, but I returned to the north. Route 610 was full of birds while I was there between 2 and 3 p.m.
