Birds were singing so much it was crazy.  Lots of BT Green, BT Blue, B&W, Yellow-Rumped, northern parula.  Others: blue-headed vireo, red-eyed vireo, scarlet tanager, rose-breasted grosbeak, ovenbird, hermit thrush, wood thrush, blue wing warbler, redstart and others.  Drove up to near the top of East Rock park to a small gravel parking lot before you get to the top.  The White Trail (a closed off road), walking down the road beyond the power line clearing.  Merlin picked up other birds as well that I couldn’t locate.
