Milford Mill Warbler Walk

Even though it was a quiet morning for this place at this time of year (2-3 x more active here just 4 days ago), the 12 of us on a Chesapeake Audubon walk had a wonderful time. We obtained excellent looks at a number of birds--scarlet tanager, rt hummer, red-eyed vireo, black-throated blue, parula, redstart, wood thrush, veery--but I think everyone on the trip will never forget the incredibly close and long views we had of a chestnut-sided warbler--unreal.
