Hi all,
Evan Obercian and I spent three days birding the greater Baxter State Park area.
The highlight, of course, was the pair (probably with one juvenile) of AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKERS along the Nesowadnahunk Campground Road (off of Telos Rd, not the Nesowadnahunk Field Campground with
in the park). The birds were seen from a diffuse trail on an old skidder track, nearly opposite Mile Marker 6 as you approach the campground.

Other highlights:
- 1 BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER, 1 FOX SPARROW, 7 Olive-sided Flycatchers, 3 Palm Warblers, 2 Wilson's Warblers, 2 Lincoln's Sparrows, etc, etc, Harvester Road, 7/17.
- 3-4 Eastern Whip-poor-wills, 2 Common Nighthawks, 1 American Woodcock, etc, Abol Bridge Campground, 7/17-19.
- 2 Gray Jays, 1 Bay-breasted Warbler, etc, Park Tote Road north of Nesowadnahunk Field Campground, Baxter State Lark, 7/18.
- 2 Boreal Chickadees, 16 Ring-necked Ducks, 5 Common Goldeneyes, several broods of Ruby-crowned Kinglets, etc, Tracey to Grassy Pond, Baxter State Park, 7/18.
- 1 RED CROSSBILL, Nesowadnahunk Campground Road, 7/19. Only other finches were Purple and American Goldfinches.
- Olive-sides Flycatchers were especially vocal throughout the area all weekend, perhaps in anticipation of the beginning of their early departure.
