The bird activity seemed to last a bit later this morning with more birdsong as well. Maybe the birds were just happy it had finally stopped raining. I ended up with 15 warblers, including my FOY Blackpoll, unfortunately heard only. I heard it a couple times or else I heard two birds, but could not spot it. Most warblers just singles except N Parula, BT Blue, Com YT & Yellow.
I was about to leave, but decided to check for the Kentucky Warbler again and although I hadn’t seen or heard it earlier in the morning, it was giving its very loud chip call repeatedly and briefly showed itself. It’s an amazing skulker. It flew across the path and I completely missed it then when it flew back, I just barely saw movement.
I also saw my FOY Lincoln’s Sparrow.
Trails have standing water & are v muddy.
When I got back home, a TN warbler was singing & perched up nicely. Then later, I heard a Cape May but wasn’t able to find it.
