    Details

    At at least five distinct spots on the path between Pennyfield and Violette's we saw multiple Paula's feeding in trees, usually on both sides of the canal, and then sometimes flitting back and forth rapidly across. This count for today is certainly a conservative estimate for the more than 1-mile stretch of canal we walked today, with seven sets of eyes scanning for action.

  42. Magnolia Warbler

    Number observed:  10

  43. Bay-breasted Warbler

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    We had a very cooperative BBWA between mile post 21-22, it was finding plenty of grubs to eat on the tree
