Another full day of birding

Sunday...
I biked over to Anne Kolb Nature Center yesterday. On the way I stopped at Publux to pick up something for lunch. I arrived at the park around 8:30am. I checked the usual warbler spots (Bushes and trees on the west side of the parking lot, around the entrance to the mudflat trail, and all along the brush to the dumpster area). The only birds I saw at these spots were a Prairie warbler and a Black-whiskered Vireo. Another place that may have some warbler action is the trees on the south side of the little bridge heading toward the park office & exhibit hall. I took the lake observation trail to the end look out, spent most of the day in the shadow and cool breeze.
I saw a total of 36 species at the nature center today. I few families and my self had some great looks at an Osprey and a Kingfisher (probably a female).
I finally packed up and left after 5pm.

Sounds like you had a grand time. It is nice to see others out there enjoing the outdoors and wanting to share it. Warblers have been moving through for the last two days, it is heating up.
Good luck on your next birding adventure.
