The Wilson Trail in Sapsucker Woods today reminds me of Ithaca on the Monday after reunions. The vast majority of visiting revelers have moved on to resume their busy lives. A certain few travelers (female YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER and a couple of singing BLACKPOLL WARBLERS) have stayed behind because of flight delays or maybe just their preference to spend one more unrushed day here. Mostly, though, things have returned to normal - much quieter but still full of wonderful life and diversity among the longtime local citizens, including breeding warblers, thrushes, orioles, sparrows, flycatchers, tanagers, herons, an Eastern Bluebird, plus some new neighbors (YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS and maybe some west-side NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES acting territorial).
Or maybe there is a rocking after-party somewhere, but I just didn't find its secret location.
