We parked at the filtration plant because there were so many cars on Cassels. Right away, Barbara spotted birds in the pine trees by the lake - Pine Warblers!
We crossed the road to the large trees near the river. Lots of warblers, but high up. Cape May, Orange-crowned and Tennessee.
We met many of our birding friends and had a chat. Eventually, we went up onto the ridge. The place was crawling with Cape May Warblers.
We also spotted a Nashville Warbler and Bay-breasted Warblers really close.
There were also many Cedar Waxwings, including juveniles.
Also spotted were an Eastern Phoebe a Red-eyed Vireo and a peekaboo Rose-breasted Grosbeak . Then a Song Sparrow and Yellow-rumped Warblers.
Then a surprise - a moulting male Scarlet Tanager and also a female.
We went back across to the lake side and saw lots of Wood Ducks and a single Great Blue Heron, and a Red-breasted Nuthatch in the pine tree with the warblers. Bill even spotted an American Redstart but was not quick enough to get a photo.
