First warbler spotted was the Palm Warbler. This species is always one of the earliest warblers to arrive in the spring rush.

Here is a Nashville Warbler - a rather common warbler and will be seen often over the next few weeks.
Closer to sunset, a wave of Yellow-rumped Warblers appeared picking insects out of the buds on the hackberry trees.

They also liked to forage at the base of the tree - the lighter color Yellow-rumped in the center is a female.
Five warblers in this scene!
About an hour before sunset, large numbers of White-throated Sparrows suddenly appeared under the feeders and in various spots of the yard where there was recently scattered grass seed.
