Hi Peter,
Good seeing you today in your mega-TRUCK....
Well, in contrast to last Thursday, today was considerably less birdy, with a clear change in populations....
Instead of 20 species of warblers we had 10 (but one really good one.....) And lots of Palms that were missing from last week, and a good number of White-throated Sparrows and Thrush.
Highlights included: Connecticut Warbler (in the midwood near the zoo...)
At least 3 Gray-cheeked Thrush including a very warm "Bicknell's/GC sp" and two cold gray ones from their western breeding range, a very low cooperative Eastern Wood-Pewee, and a number of raptors including Sharpie, Peregrine, and Kestrel; cooperative Scarlet Tanagers and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. A total of 56 species.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
