5/28 Franklin Park Fourteen Warblers, Yellow-throated Vireo

[Paul Peterson]

I birded for almost NINE HOURS today at Franklin Park. Earlt on, I had a Black-throated Blue Warbler who sang not only its usual song, but also one whose first part was like the song of the Tennessee Warbler, and whose second part was like that of the Blue-winged Warbler. For butterflies, I had four duskywing sp., at least two Tiger Swallowtail, and one Black Swallowtail.
