I visited the east side of Sapsucker Woods again on Saturday morning. Some highlights were the same as yesterday's - two BLACKPOLL WARBLERS under the power lines, a few MAGNOLIA WARBLERS throughout, and an OVENBIRD south of the gated trailhead. Today I also saw two SWAINSON'S THRUSHES (one along bend of road near big parking lot sign, one in the Catharus corridor with the Ovenbird), a SCARLET TANAGER under the power lines, and a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK near 91 Sapsucker Woods Road. I think that there were probably at least two more boreal thrushes with the Ovenbird and the second Swainson's Thrush. I caught a short and distant look at one of these thrushes, which didn't have bold spectacles but also seemed to have upperpart colors more consistent with Hermit Thrush than Gray-cheeked.
