This morning was pretty fun at Mead Gardens. I saw a couple Barred Owls and a few Wood Ducks that were cooperative with my camera, though most other species I saw were not. I heard a Red-eyed Vireo in the park this morning, and I have a brief glimpse at a Painted Bunting on the boardwalk near the feeders. A couple Great Crested Flycatchers were also seen and heard. And I saw/heard nine species of warblers: Black and White Warblers, one Orange-crowned, Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Palm Warblerx (including one yellow/eastern variety), Pine Warblers, Yellow-rumped, and one Prairie Warbler.
