This morning I heard a Northern Waterthrush near the Sherwood
Platform, and this afternoon I heard one along the Woodleton
Boardwalk at 4:45. It wasn't singing when I was on the boardwalk at
4, but when I came back through at 4:45, it was singing. I think
they typically sing less often around now.

Last time I heard one there was the 9th, but I don’t go there
every day.

Sounds like a wonderful morning. Glad you were out
there.
Interestingly we did not hear any Northern
Waterthrush along the Woodleton Boardwalk yesterday
either and they are so reliably persistent, usually.

I walked around much of
Sapsucker Woods with visiting scientist Martin
Stervander. It was by far the best morning of the
spring for me, probably a top-ten day for me ever
in the sanctuary, all the more so because we
picked up many lifers for Martin. The treetops
from Sherwood Platform past the Charley Harper
Bench all the way to the road were teeming with
great numbers of at least 19 warbler species,
including CAPE MAY (4+ M, 1 F), BAY-BREASTED (3+),
TENNESSEE (3+, one confirmed by sight),
BLACKBURNIAN (8+), NORTHERN PARULA (7+), PINE (1
M, surprising to see by Fuller Wetlands, not near
any pines – confirmed by photo), BLACK-THROATED
BLUE (4 M, 1 F), BLACK-THROATED GREEN (6+),
CHESTNUT-SIDED (6+), NASHVILLE (2, heard only),
BLACK-AND-WHITE (1 seen, 1+ heard only), WILSON’S
(seen by Martin, missed by me), and one HOODED
(heard only, but I feel sure). Northern
Waterthrush would have made 20 warbler species for
the morning, but somehow we didn’t hear any along
the Woodleton Boardwalk. We also found a couple
of YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS and BLUE-HEADED VIREOS.
