Below is a list of birds seen today, as sent to E-bird. When we first started out this morning there were some mosquitoes and black flies, but very few later on along the boardwalk in the bog. All the warblers, flycatchers and thrushes were singing all morning. The Connecticut Warbler was seen and heard about half way along the boardwalk, near a sign that told about the caribou that used to frequent the bogs. It was a most enjoyable morning.
