“Last year on May 20th we had 56 species and on the 21st we had 57. Today we chewed those numbers up and spit out an overwhelming 68 species. A phenomenal 18 warbler species and The QF is now at 134 species which is 2/3 of the species seen in Putnam County. The Wilson’s Warbler, Yellow-breasted Chat and the Canada Warbler are all new just since Saturday. We saw 2 Wilson’s Warblers on the tree line way back in the prairie area and 2 Green Herons fly from the quarry. One of the best birding days of my life. The light wasn’t good for photos, but I got a new one of the Wilson’s Warbler, a couple of Blackburnian Warblers and a Blackpoll Warbler.”
