I stopped by Blackburn Park in Webster Groves (St. Louis Co.) for about an hour this afternoon. I had my spare binoculars with me, and carrying the baby really limited my mobility, but I still had some good birds. I'd recommend this park to others over the next few weeks, especially the west edge of the park along Edgar Rd. Great Crested Flycatcher, 1 Eastern Wood-Pewee, 1 Red-eyed Vireo, 1 Swainson's Thrush, 2 Gray-cheeked Thrush, 1 Northern Parula, 1 Tennessee Warbler, 1 Nashville Warbler, 2 Black-throated Green Warbler, 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, ~10 Palm Warbler, 5 Black-and-white Warbler, 1 Ovenbird, 1 Indigo Bunting, 1 Orchard Oriole, 1 Eurasian Tree Sparrow, 1 Also, this evening I watched a flock of ~200 Chimney Swifts flock over an old smokestack in Shrewsbury and swirl like a tornado before streaming into the smokestack. While watching them, I had my FOY Common Nighthawk and a Black-crowned Night-heron. Also a few bats flew over, I'm guessing Big Brown Bats (but I'm not great at bat ID).
