I had six people show up for the field trip.  Not as many species as normal=
 and it was my impression that warblers numbers and other species numbers w=
ere down substantially.  No yellow warblers or magnolia warblers, which was=
 disconcerting.  Also, on the Spring Migration Count there were plentiful N=
ashville and palm warblers.  No Nashvilles were found on the outing and onl=
y one palm.  Swallows were also scarce.  Anyhow, the list was:

1. Rock Pigeon
2. American Redstart
3. European Starling
4. Mourning Dove
5. Yellow-rumped Warbler
6. American Goldfinch
7. Song Sparrow
8. American Robin
9. Northern Parula
10. Black-capped Chickadee
11. Blue-headed Vireo
12. Ovenbird
13. Least Flycatcher (heard only)
14. Black-throated Green Warbler
15. Red-breasted Nuthatch
16. Northern Flicker
17. Northern Waterthrush
18. Hermit Thrush
19. Gray Catbird
20. Blue Jay
21. Black & White Warbler
22. Golden-crowned Kinglet
23. Barred Owl - Two sitting side by side with a great display of mobbing b=
y other birds.
24. American Crow
25. Herring Gull
26. Chestnut-sided Warbler
27. Rose-breasted Grosbeak
28. Red-eyed Vireo
29. Common Raven
30. Purple Finch (Heard)
31. White-throated Sparrow
32. Eastern Wood Pewee (Heard)
33. Common Loon
34. White-breasted Nuthatch
35. Alder Flycatcher
36. Common Yellowthroat
37. Belted Kingfisher
38. Pine Siskin
39. Bobolink
40. Pileated Woodpecker
41. Hairy Woodpecker
42. Red-winged Blackbird
43. Tree Swallow
44. Red-tailed Hawk
45. Eastern Kingbird
46. Osprey
47. Common Grackle
48. Palm Warbler

I heard ruby-throated hummingbird also, and might have seen one, but it als=
o could have been a Sphinx moth.  Dorothy Poole also heard a Swainson's Thr=
ush.
