7 brave birders dodged the rain 2 hours or so at ww hills. lots of birds including many unidentified warblers. ruby crowned, golden crowned kinglets,
white throated sparrows were about with all the usual residents and common migrants. the highliht oi the day was 2 great horned owls being harrassed by a MOB OF CROWS. THANKS to George for the great look in the scope. the previous afternoon there were flocks of migrating birds overhead including chimney swifts (100), ring bill gulls from low to thousands of feet in the air, bluejays,fliickers,rw blkbrds,cedar ww, and other passerines were everywhere in the sky and woods heading south. how did they know bad weather was on the way. the last of the brave birders are thinking of doing purgatory creek next Friday. any input from interested birders will be welcome. hope everyone has a good weekend of birding.
