18 warblers on Sherburne's Blue Hill Trail this morning - lack of leaves led
to stunning looks at Blackburnians, Cape Mays, Parulas etc. - new for year
were Blackpoll and Bay-breasted.
22 warblers, so far, on the week in the refuge. No Canada, Connecticut, or
Mourning (speaking personally) yet. Orange-crowned seem to have moved
through. Yellow-rumpeds still present, although no longer the most
numerous.
Gray-cheeked Thrush and early Olive-sided Flycatcher rounded out the
morning. This is the first time I can remember getting an Olive-sided
before Peewee or Alder/Willow.
Good birding to all!
