May 7: Jim Hinson while leading a bird walk found a male BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER at Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary. The bird was found a little before 10:00 am along McCarver Trail. He was able to relocate the bird again at 12:30 pm at the intersection of Creekside Trail and McCarver Trail. He had excellent looks at it at this location - it was even singing.

May 8: Carl and Sherry Wilkerson found the Black-Throated Blue Warbler at about 10:30 AM on the McCarver Trail just past the northern intersection of Creekside Trail. They were able to follow it for about 20 minutes down McCarver and Titmouse Crossing getting some very clear and close views. The warbler was working the vegetation from about 4 to 8 feet with a group of Magnolia Warblers. This was the last reported sighting.

Also on May 8 at 8:00 AM John Berner found a female CAPE MAY WARBLER in the oxbow. It was with a female American Redstart. It has not been refound.

May 11: several MOURNING WARBLERS were found at the sanctuary. No sign of the BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER.  Over 12 warbler species were present, including many Canada Warblers.
