Magee Boardwalk; 16-Apr-2003 - I visited the boarwalk for a couple hours Wednesday morning. I saw pretty much the same birds as on Tuesday with the addition of two Snowy Egrets along the causeway. The numbers along the boardwalk seemed to be a little greater. I saw at least a dozen Winter Wrens and a few Fox Sparrows. I saw three Pine Warblers along the boardwalk. One, in the back of the boardwalk, was head-high and about 20 feet away, providing nice views.

Additional warblers were seen by other birders Wedesday morning, including female Prairie, Orange-crowned, and Palm. There was a report of a Louisiana Waterthrush somewhere at Magee on Tuesday. I heard that at Pearson Park a Black-throated Green and Black-throated Blue were spotted.

Right now, Friday night looks like another good night for songbird migration. The high temps on Tuesday and Wednesday were 75-80 with brisk southwest winds. The winds shifted from the north about mid-afternoon Wednesday, dropping the temps 20 degrees. Strong northeast winds are blowing today 25-35 mph and temps are in the upper 30's.
