Hi all, I'm just back from 3 weeks in Australia and enjoyed 2 productive hours of walking around Sapsucker Woods this afternoon (Oct 2), between 12:30 and 2:30. I'm happy that I did not miss the warbler migration! Below is my eBird report. Some highlights included a BROWN THRASHER and a CATBIRD eating wild grapes near the pond by the "Frog Barn" (the CLO workshop just past the southeast part of the woods, along the road). In that same place was a WINTER WREN that popped up in response to pishing, and a very cooperative OVENBIRD that perched on the fence 10 feet from me, and stayed there for a good 30 seconds!
There was a good variety of warblers, mostly as singles scattered along the Wilson Trail, and one thrush (Swainson's) at the south end of the Podell boardwalk. In that same spot was a small flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers accompanied by one female Black-throated Blue Warbler. Nice day!
