Lake Erie Bluffs was alive with birds this morning. The trees along the north side of the Lane Road loop trail were just loaded. Each tree seemed to have 10-20 birds in it. I ended up with 22 species of warblers including 2 orange-crowned, Kentucky, prairie, and chat. There was probably more that I missed.
By 9:00 the numbers of birds dropped dramatically as most headed east along the lake shore. There were a lot of blue jays, kingbirds, and other songbirds flying east overhead. It was the best day I have had this spring.
