Subject: [wisb] Black-throated Blue Warbler, Lake Park, MKE County
From: Sam Corbo <skcorbo@gmail.com>

Hey folks,
I ran into Robin Squier and Maria Terres at Lake Park today. We had
good
looks at a Black-throated Blue Warbler among many new arrivals along
Locust
Ravine. I later had the cooperative bird singing in the northern
'half' of
Locust Ravine, last heard in the pines that hide the electrical boxes
above
the eastern edge of the ravine. Definitely a big influx overnight as
many
others have reported!

Warblers: Palm (most numerous), Yellow-rumped (many), Nashville (~15),
Black-throated Green (2), Yellow (1), Pine (1), Northern Waterthrush
(1),
Common Yellowthroat (1), Black-throated Blue (1)
