After several days of cool, cloudy and occasionally rainy weather the conditions changed on Friday bringing in sunny, warm weather on southerly winds. This in turn resulted in a large influx of warbler species the last couple days with eleven species yesterday and seventeen today! Friday had my first Northern Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat, Black throated Green Warbler and Blue winged Warbler while Saturday brought in my first American Redstart, Chestnut sided Warbler, Prairie Warbler, Black throated Blue Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler and Northern Parula. This has certainly been one of the bigger pushes as far as variety in late April that I have seen around here....perhaps my largest number of warbler species here in April.

At home I have had several species of warbler around with a few captured on my motion cameras...it will be interesting to see what the nest of the season brings in.
