Early finds with Anne Horst indicate that today will rank among the top few birding mornings I've ever had in Sapsucker Woods. At least 21+ warbler species are present, including CAPE MAY, BAY-BREASTED (found by Jay, Brad, and Livia, not us), WILSON'S (found by Dave LoParco, not us), and others. Beyond the species count, though, the spectacle of sheer numbers of birds is absolutely stirring (10+ male BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS, and multiple birds streaming by everywhere. (Anne and I also found a BARRED OWL with extremely little effort - same Wilson/Severinghaus area as yesterday).
