5/16/06	South Burlington / Red Rocks Park (south side)

Following weeks of overcast/drizzle and a night of thunderstorms/heavy 
rain there was a nice fallout of migrants at Red Rocks Park in South 
Burlington this morning.  I birded primarily the south side of the park 
between the entrance and the pumping station, from ~8:30 - 10:00 AM; 
weather was heavy overcast with light rain towards the end.  Dozens to 
perhaps 100+ warblers were working the canopy in loose flocks, with 
good species diversity including:

Northern Parula
Nashville Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Pine Warbler
Bay-breasted Warbler
Black-and-White Warbler
American Redstart
Ovenbird

Also seen at Red Rocks today:

Great Crested Flycatcher
Red-eyed Vireo
Scarlet Tanager
Baltimore Oriole
Indigo Bunting
plus the usual residents

Elsewhere in South Burlington today:

House Wren
Common Yellowthroat
