We tackled the looooong hill down to 2nd Lk. (at the end of Metropolitan 
Ave.) this morning for the first time this spring, and were rewarded 
with lots of warblers and others.  This is a great site at this time of 
year.
Ovenbirds - many
N. Parula Warblers
Redstarts -2 males
Magnolia Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler - 2 males
Blackpoll Warblers - 1 male, 1 female
Black-thr. Green Warblers
Bl. & Wh. Warbler
Wilson's Warbler - male
Black-thr. Blue Warbler - male

Also Alder Flycatcher, and Least Flycatcher
Red-eyed and Bl.-headed Vireos
3 Spotted Sandpipers
Red-br. Nuthatch
Canada Goose
Ruby-cr. Kinglet
Tree Swallows

among other more common birds.  We went early when it was still cold & 
foggy, so the birds really only got going when we were on our way home 
along the gravel trail.  We decided we should have gone later, when the 
insects were more active.  Next time!
