On April 22, 2021, a group of 10 enthusiastic participants met at Ocean Bay Riverside at 7:30 a.m. to look for warblers. The trip was delayed a couple of days due to the threat of thunderstorms. It turned out to be a nice day with not a drop of rain.
We saw five Merlins and six species of warblers. The total number of species seen for the day was 27. We were hoping to see the White-crowned Pigeon and the Red-headed Woodpecker that were seen the day before, but alas they did not show their beaks. We did get good looks at two Ovenbirds, Common Yellowthroats, Black-throated Blue Warblers, Palm Warblers, and Prairie Warblers.
The fall-out we were hoping for did not happen due to the direction of the wind. Wind or no wind, a good time was had by all.
