The Warbler Mania from yesterday has slowed a bit in the Tip Area but there
is still good numbers of species being seen well.  The two White Pelicans
from yesterday afternoon  have not been reported today as of yet.

Yellow-headed Blackbirds have been reported from the Mitchell Bay area on
Angler Line.

Hillman Shorebird Cell:  Little Gull was reported.  No word on the Mottled
Duck or the Cackling Geese.

Tip Area:  Blackpoll, Pine, Orange-crowned, Hooded, Kentucky,
Yellow-breasted Chat, Cerulean, and Blue-winged Warbler.  A point of
interest is that both the Blackpoll and the Pine were singing here on the
same day.  White-eyed Vireo was near the tram stop.

East Beach:  Laughing Gulls offshore from the Sparrow Field.  The Black
Vulture was near the end of Shuster Trail on the beach.

Tilden Woods:  Mourning Warbler was on the Centennial Bike Path near the
West Beach.  A Green Heron was at the main boardwalk.  White-eyed Vireo,
Golden-winged Warbler, and Mourning Warbler were on Shuster Trail.

No reports from further north in the Park.
