It was a productive day to be out birding in spite of the showers that we endured during the morning hours. Our persistence paid off as we made it all the way to the north end to follow up on reports of Cerulean and Yellow-throated Warblers. Both were seen! We ended up with 15 species of warblers and a nice number of other migrants.
