I paid a couple of visits to Sapsucker Woods on Saturday morning, first alone from 7:10 to 8:20 AM, and then again with my family from 11:30 to 12:45. Migrant diversity was very good but not extraordinary for this time of the season. I found MAGNOLIA, CHESTNUT-SIDED, BLACKBURNIAN, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN (5+), BLACKPOLL, YELLOW-RUMPED, BLACK-AND WHITE, and WILSON'S WARBLER, plus a NORTHERN PARULA, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, and other more common species. The biggest mixed flocks were along the road at 7:40 AM and along the lower branch of the Wilson Trail North at noon.
On a brief visit at midday on Friday, I saw a female HOODED WARBLER and a YELLOW WARBLER on the Wilson Trail North. My wife Miyoko says that she saw a male Hooded Warbler at around the same time from her office window overlooking the north feeders.
