After getting out of work this morning I headed out to track down warblers. Migration conditions finally improved a bit with some warm temps the last two days. I managed to have my best morning so far for the spring migration season with my first Louisiana Waterthrush at Fitzgerald Lake and double digit counts of Palm Warblers at multiple locations. I also added a few Pine Warblers and Yellow rumped Warblers for the day, giving me four species for the day. Palm Warblers were the most abundant species and they certainly had arrived in numbers with the more favorable migration conditions. Although it can be tedious at times to wade through the hordes of Palm Warblers and Yellow rumped Warblers early in the migration season it can be worth it as rarities/early arrivals can join the more common species.
