Hi all, Today I took an early morning walk through Sapscuker Woods. It wasn't the huge influx of warblers that I was hoping for, but there were some good birds around. There were many newly arrived Wood Thrushes, some Hermit Thrushes, my first Gray Catbird of the spring, and many Yellow-rumped

In previous years I haven't had much luck seeing migrating warblers around my home, so I headed out early this morning to hunt some down. I didn't find quite as many as I hoped, though a CERULEAN WARBLER at Jetty Woods was exciting. Within five minutes of getting back home, however, I had
