Magnolia Warbler at Governor Bridge Natural Area

A migrant at last! GB was actually very active this morning, but it took a couple of hours to find the Magnolia Warbler, the only migrant. Catbirds were very numerous, and other birds were actively feeding as well.

I spent some time looking for bugs, but it’s still slow.
