Sorry for the late posting, but we were doing a day-long refresher training at
the Ornithology Lab today and most of these are from our morning walk. Walking
the Wilson trail loop around 10:30 we saw Pileated woodpecker, yellow-bellied
sapsucker, and downy in a two minute span. Later we added
Hi all,
As soon as I saw Mark Chao's report of warblers at Sapsucker Woods, I headed
over there (around 10 am). I first walked the north part of the Wilson Trail,
up to the Sherwood Platform but didn't come across any migrant flocks. I headed
back toward the building, going along the pond.
Ken Kemphues and I led a bird walk around the Wilson Trail this morning at
Sapsucker Woods that included several first-of-year birds for us. A
NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW was circling low over the pond to give us
good looks- the only swallow we saw on our walk.
Over by the Sherwood platform,
In addition to the tanager there were several more migrants around
Sapsucker Woods this morning:
Baltimore Oriole, Warbling Vireo, Blue-headed Vireo, many Yellow-rumped
Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, Gray Catbird, Great Crested Flycatcher and a
group of at least 100 White-throated Sparrows moving
And a Brown Thrasher was singing near the far parking lot.

An Ovenbird was also singing on and off near the eastern edge of the east
side this morning, too. A Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a Nashville Warbler, and
a number of Yellow-rumped Warblers were also on the Wilson Trail at about
7am.

There's more activity this morning than in recent days. Most noticeable are
lots of White-throated Sparrows. Wes Hochachka alerted me to a Black-and-White
Warbler and pointed out a Ruby-crowned Kinglet near the small bridge on the
Wilson Trail and told me others had heard a Warbling Vireo
It's fairly quiet, but I heard and saw a Bay-breasted Warbler foraging in the
tops of the trees where the trail from Sapsucker Woods Road through the power
line cut meets the Hoyt-Pileated Trail (at about 8:30). Earlier I saw what
might be a Gray-cheeked Thrush on the Wilson Trail between the
On the Wilson Trail this morning, I came across a warbler flock at the back of
the pond around the little peninsula with two benches. Included in the flock
were:
Magnolia
Blackpoll
Chestnut-sided
Common Yellowthroat
I think there were more that I could never get a look at. Yesterday morning
Things were pretty quiet around the Wilson Trail, but activity picked up on the
Severinghaus Trail between the Wilson Trail and the road. We found a SWAINSON'S
THRUSH through here and then came upon a warbler flock high in the trees as we
approached the road that included at least one
I led the CLO walk round the woods this morning. No major surprises, but
highlights were three Green Herons, two Scarlet Tanagers, and two young
Pewees being fed by a parent. Cedar Waxwings were abundant, with lots of
juveniles.
I am finding it very convenient to enter eBird sightings using

Paul. Sounds like another lovely morning leading the public SSW walk.
Logistically, just wondering. Did you incorporate your postings to
Bird Log into walk discussions? Or did you post surreptitiously? I
am thinking and being inspired that it really will be a great thing to
I led the SSW walk this morning from 9:30 to 11:00. On the pond were
three Ring-necked Ducks (1f,2m), five Wood Ducks and at least six Hooded
Mergansers. By the feeder on the Wilson Trail a Fox Sparrow was foraging
under the bushes affording very satisfying looks to all.

Highlights from a walk through Sapsucker from 07:40-8:40, mostly on
the East side:
Gray-cheeked Thrush - one on East Trail near Frog Barn (91 Sapsucker Woods Road)

Blackpoll Warbler - one in mixed flock on powerline cut

Hi everyone,
I birded Sapsucker Woods yesterday from 8:15-10:30am, finding only moderate
activity. The entrance to the lab was filled with birds when I arrived,
including BT GREEN WARBLER, MAGNOLIA WARBLER, YT VIREO,and PHILADELPHIA VIREOS.
However, I found the trails very quiet overall, until

I am borrowing Jeff's computer to post because mine is being worked on...
Sapsucker Woods was hopping this morning. Lots and lots of
Yellow-rumped Warblers but also a hybrid GOLDEN-WINGED BLUE-WINGED--I
think it was a Brewster's--it was mostly white with a blue back,
yellow wing bars, a yellow
Things are definitely quieter this morning. On a quick trip around the Wilson
Trail starting at 7:45 this morning, I found lots of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS,
one PALM WARBLER, two AMERICAN REDSTARTS, and I heard a COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, a
YELLOW WARBLER, and NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES (one at the back
