Hi all, I spent the morning on Stevenson's Road and at SSW or correct acronym would be SWS. Finally, on the return trip I did see two BLACK VULTURES atop a tree on a second visit.
At SSW, I saw this bird perched on a dead branch in the main pond towards the east end, who's gizz was that of Olive-sided Flycatcher. It was a larger flycatcher, with a forked tail and I felt I could see the dark sides and white throat but light was too low. At the first bend past the bridge on Wilson trail, I came across a small flock birds mostly consisting of Cedar Waxwings and chickadees but with one Chestnut-sided warbler. Later I ran into another small flock at the visitor center, where I saw a couple of Magnolia Warblers and a young Blackburnian warbler. There were also two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, one of them chased a Magnolia warbler for quite sometime and later chased another bird, which could have been a Tufted titmouse, the chase was too fast and they got lost in the foliage.
