I also did not see many migrants in the late morning around Sapsucker Woods. However, on my way out of work this evening around 5:30 I encountered a couple nice flocks, the first an almost completely Oreothlypis-based one of 4+ TENNESSEE WARBLERS (a couple drab adults and a couple bright greenish-yellow juveniles) and several NASHVILLE WARBLERS moving around in the alders and nearby trees at the east end of the Fuller Wetlands. Then I walked the powerline cut on the Dryden side, where I found 2 MAGNOLIA WARBLERS, 1 male WILSON'S WARBLER, American Redstart, Ovenbird, and a fairly drab YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER.
Warbler migration is already in full swing. As far as I can tell, at least 22 species of warblers have been seen in Sapsucker Woods in the past week or so (Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Blue-winged, Black-and-white, Tennessee, Nashville, Kentucky, Common Yellowthroat, Hooded, American Redstart, Cape May, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, Blackpoll, Black-throated Green, Pine, Yellow-rumped, Prairie, Canada, and Wilson's), and another two (Northern Parula and Bay-breasted) nearby. On my way home this evening I also stopped by the SPCA fields off Hanshaw, and sure enough, the juvenile WHIMBREL is still there. -Jay On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 2:10 PM, bob mcguire <[email protected]> wrote: > Sapsucker Woods at noon, for me, was rather quiet.
