We stopped at Mud Lake again and this time met Eleanor and several of her Monday Group there. The warblers were in the bushes and trees at the bottom of the ridge. A male Bay-breasted Warbler that was in partial breading plumage was a particularly nice find. A non-breeding one seemed to have very light legs, which led us to believe that it was a female Blackpoll. As before, there were plenty of Cape Mays.
We moved on to Andrew Haydon Park and sat on a bench to have our sandwich while observing a couple of Eastern Kingbirds.
We checked the river, but all we saw was a Great Egret and some Mallards. We saw Gillian M who was netting Damselflies and Dragonflies. She showed us a skimmer that had just emerged and was drying its wings.
