With that in mind, I returned to the local Annapolis Royal marshland to try and find, and maybe even photograph, some more warblers. The odds were a bit against me given the large numbers of Yellow-rumped Warblers (or Butterbutts as they are appropriately known) around the reserve. It seemed that every tree held at least two or three Butterbutts, which made finding other warbler species a little tricky. Eventually I found a couple of Northern Parulas and Wilson’s Warblers, and a patch of low cover held a small group of Palm Warblers, along with a Yellow Warbler and a Tennessee Warbler – only my second new bird of the trip.Next stop was Kejimkujik  National Park. I wasn’t expecting much in the way of birds here, but was just intending to enjoy a walk in the park’s boreal forest habitat. I wasn’t pleasantly surprised as the mixed woodland of the Hemlocks and Hardwoods trail held a fine selection of birds. Most numerous were immaculate Blue-headed Vireos, but other highlights include a scatter of Hermit Thrushes, some pristine Ovenbirds, and of course, another fix of warblers, this time including Black and White, Blackpoll and Blackburnian. Any one of these would be a major draw should it make it across the Atlantic, but despite comments on other threads, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the best place for North American birds is North America.Overnight in Liverpool, which, as you might expect, is a port on the mouth of the Mersey river.</blockquote>
