Prairie Warbler A fellow birder reported seeing a Blackpoll Warbler at Mead Gardens this morning. I was unable to do any birding this morning, but when I read that I decided to visit in the afternoon. I spent almost two hours there, and I had a pretty good time. I saw five warbler species there, the most I've seen anywhere in the last couple weeks. I saw a Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Prairie Warbler, Amerian Redstart and a Magnolia Warbler. I also saw a male Blue Grosbeak. Unfortunately, I didn't get presentable photos of the Blue Grosbeak or the Magnolia Warbler.
