I had an unusually quiet walk on Saturday morning through the garden plots
on Freese Road (Song Sparrows, Field Sparrows, Indigo Buntings, no unusual
songbirds). But then, as just as I was leaving, I saw a bird overhead,
speeding south on powerful pointed wings. A minute later, Nate Senner
I went to Sapsucker Woods this afternoon hoping to see one of the Gray-cheeked Thrushes that have been reported lately. Although I did not have success there, eventually I did find a congener and a good variety of other migrant songbirds. I started on the Dryden side at the little parking lot.
