Title: Col. Sam Smith Park- May 8
Post by: Dove12 on May 08, 2012, 05:11:16 PM

A few warblers today- Northern Parula, American Redstart, Chestnut-sided, Nashville, Yellow-rumped, Palm, Ovenbird. Also saw Veery, Warbling Vireo, Field Sparrow, Brown Thrasher, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Least Flycatcher(likely). A group of 3 birders reported seeing a couple of Northern Waterthrushes. I didn't cover the waterfront, but saw quite a few Common Terns.

Most birds were along the stream that feeds the marsh- runs north/south on a line directly south of Kipling, where Col. Sam Smith Park Dr. takes a 90 degree turn.

Welcome to the forums David!  :)
Haven't been out to Sam's for awhile. Would love to try and get down there this week. Thanks for the post.

We talked about the Audobon app Kris. Peterson Birds of North America is on for 99 cents now(down from $14.99). Kind of cool, and without the lag that I find annoying in Audobon.
