Nice, calm, and clear conditions greeted birders this morning along with a
lot of birdsong.
A FISH CROW was reported at the Tip along with an AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN
and a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER.

Many TENNESSEE WARBLERS are singing and some were kind enough to show
themselves today! We've had 22 species of warbler including BLACKPOLL,
several PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS continuing, and lots of BLACKBURNIANS
WARBLERS.

Two BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS were seen on Woodland Nature Trail and one on
Shuster Trail. A YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was seen on the Shuster Trail.

There has also been a report of an adult MISSISSIPPI KITE seen at Kopegaron
Woods.
Several people are keeping their eyes to the sky hoping it will make its
way into the park.
