Things are getting very interesting out here. There are still relatively few birds around, but among them are some exciting finds.
Bill Thompson photographed what sure the heck looks like a MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER, on the back side of the Meadow this morning.
Meanwhile, Donna Cundy set up the feeder watch area in her yard yesterday, and her yard magic is still strong. This afternoon Bruce Barker closely observed for several long minutes a CONNECTICUT WARBLER that skulked in the underbrush and then came out and bathed in her bird bath.
The LARK SPARROW and CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS continue, as do DICKCISSELS and the YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON at the Ice Pond.
Had a trip first with flyover flock of Canada Geese today, as well as my first Eastern Phoebe.
Some more raptor action, with at least 1 Osprey, 2 No. Harriers, many falcons, a few Sharpies.
I keep hearing rumors of a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, but haven't spotted one yet myself. GREAT CORMORANTS continue to make themselves highly visible, though.
Gazillions of Painted Ladies and quite a few Monarchs are turning this place into butterfly island.
Can't wait to see what this wind shift brings for tomorrow!
