Hi All, I just did the hour or so before sunrise (from Marlborough, MA) and had a really nice flight. Strangely quiet on the warbler front, but I did have:
1 Solitary Sandpiper 2 Gray-cheeked Thrush 1 Gray-cheeked/Bicknell's Thursh ~25 Swainson's Thrush 2 double-banded upsweeps (BTNW, TEWA, etc) 1 lightly buzzy warbler, perhaps NOWA or very late LOWA 1 Savannah Sparrow Looks like we'll get another good night or two in the beginning of next week. Looking forward to it! Tim On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 10:33 AM, Andrew Albright <andrew.albri...@gmail.com > wrote: > Chris and Ken - thanks for the heads up.
