My Adirondack expedition this past couple of days turned out to be fantastic
birding. I got almost all my target birds which included many boreal
breeders. The highlights of the trip were a Spruce Grouse with two young, a
female Black-backed woodpecker, and great views of Boreal chickadee,
Yellow-bellied flycatcher, Lincoln's sparrow, and Olive-sided Flycatcher.
Sadly I did miss a target bird: Gray Jay. For some reason on this trip they
seemed to have eluded me. Maybe next time perhaps? Below is my trip list. As
for pictures, I will be updated flickr with pics of the Grouse and BB
woodpecker. Here is the link:
