PI Bird Alert

It was pointed out that things like Scarlet Tanager should warrant a BirdingPI.com(TM) PI Bird Alert(TM), but frankly, there’s too much going on for bird alerts right now. In addition to the previous post, please consider this a general ‘heads up:’

• Palm Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and Yellow-rumped Warbler: everywhere
• Ovenbird: Long Pond Trail; Ridge Trail east end
• American Redstart: Sidewalk/Ridge east end
• Black-and-white Warbler: Sidewalk/Ridge east end; Dead Pond Trail
• Bay-breasted Warbler: Long Pond Trail; Sidewalk/Ridge east end
• Northern Parula: Long Pond Trail
• Blackburnian Warbler: Long Pond Trail; Sidewalk/Ridge east end
• Black-throated Blue Warbler: Sidewalk/Ridge east end
• Chestnut-sided Warbler: Sidewalk/Ridge east end
• Magnolia Warbler: Sidewalk/Ridge east end; Long Pond Trail
• Nashville Warbler: Sidewalk/Ridge east end; Misery Bay
• Common Yellowthroat: Sidewalk/Ridge east end; Long Pond Trail
• Scarlet Tanager: Sidewalk/Ridge east end; Long Pond Trail

“Sidewalk/Ridge east end” is the short loop that starts at the east-end trailhead of the Sidewalk Trail (by Misery Bay), extends along the Sidewalk Trail a bit past the bench, and returns on the Ridge Trail.

Second-hand accounts mention Northern Parula, Mourning Warbler, and Black-throated Green Warbler spotted by Misery Bay and on the Sidewalk Trail. Second-hand reports of Northern Waterthrush seen in the swamp/pond area at the east trailhead of the Sidewalk trail.

[Update: after all teams checked in for the day, confirmed sightings of Black-throated Green Warbler on the Ridge Trail, plus multiple sightings of Black-and-white Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, and Bay-breasted Warbler. Blackburnian Warbler still being seen along the Sidewalk Trail east end.]
