The yellow warblers are back in numbers, and singing from all over the garden. They frequently nest in the old field, in raspberry thickets, as well as in the dogwood thickets north of the ash woods, and of course in other sites within the garden.

It was a great day for birds at the FWG, with the following warblers seen: yellow warbler, yellow-rumped warbler, bay-breasted warbler, american redstart, magnolia warbler, black-throated green warbler, black-throated blue warbler, and chestnut-sided warbler. Heather was at the garden earlier the same day, and had at least another 3 or 4 warbler species including tennessee warbler. In addition to warblers, a brown thrasher, gray catbirds, red-tailed hawk, white-crowned sparrows, song sparrows, chipping sparrows, white-breasted nuthatch, american robin, cedar waxwing, house finch, mallard, northern cardinal, warbling vireo, red-eyed vireo, downy woodpecker, a very orange colourd scarlet tanager, green heron, black-capped chickadee, american kestrel, american goldfinch, rock pigeon, european starling, eastern kingbird, great crested flycatcher, crow, and tree swallow were also found.

Earlier, Heather added house wren, ruby-throated hummingbird and blue jay as well as some other species I can't remember offhand!
