Kendale Lakes Park was really birdy this afternoon. The combination of poor weather and an abundance of high octane fuel in the form of ripe figs continues to draw an impressive variety and number of migratory birds to this small, inland park. There was a noticeable influx of Cape May Warblers, and I had my FOS Tennessee Warbler.
Here are the numbers:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird: 2
Eastern Wood-Pewee: 3
Yellow-throated Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo: 16
Barn Swallow: 7
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher: 12
Worm-eating Warbler: 2
Black-and-white Warbler: 6
Prothonotary Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
American Redstart: 3
Cape May Warbler: 10
Northern Parula: 20
Black-throated Blue Warbler: 8
Yellow-throated Warbler: 6
Prairie Warbler: 16
Summer Tanager: 2

The rains that normally come in June/July came in September, and are helping to put the birds down. Most years, these birds would be flying right over us, and all we'd get are the late season migrants in October. Already there have been more reports in early September of Kentucky, Cerulean, Blackburnian, and Chestnut-sided than I can recall, and even a couple of Canada and a Golden-winged thrown in! I'd get out and bird now that migration is actually pretty good, if it wasn't for my allergic reaction to leaf blowers, lawn mowers, beeping trucks, low-flying planes, golf carts, dog walkers..................
