Hey Peter, it was good to see you again today.
Here are the highlights of my walk today:
Ovenbirds - 2 - along the way to the Vale from Grand Army
In the Vale, about 7:30am
Black-throated blue- male
Waterthrush – probably a Northern
Common Yellowthroat female
Redstart female- several
Thumb of thepeninsula very active at about 9:35 (with little human or canine activity!)
More Ovenbirds
Common Yellowthroat – several females
Redstart – several females
Black-and-White- several,.
Black-throated Green- first winter- I had a good look. The bird was fairly vocal- zeeing a lot.
