Oops, my message got away from me! Also saw two Swainson's Thrushes and 2 Scarlet Tanagers @ Lacey-Keo.
I saw 1 lone male Bobolink on a fence line on Belfast Road past Farmington on my way to the Croton Unit of Shimek. Heard the Bewick's Wren at the junk yard outside of Argyle. Wilson's Warbler was seen at Croton Unit...it started to rain really hard so I departed without finding other target birds there. Highlights from Mt. Sterling: Saw one Least Sandpiper and one Spotted Sandpiper,Forster's Terns,and my nesting pair of Trumpeter Swans at Mt. Sterling.
