["Syon Abbey" <syonabbey@xxxxxxxx>]

I saw this morning my first Sapsucker, Palm Warblers, and Junco of the season. 
An immature Red-headed Woodpecker flying over the abbey was a real treat as 
well. A Harrier spent a few minutes over one of our hayfields, and there were a 
pair of Ravens who perched several times today on the hay bales.
The woods are really full of Swainson's Thrushes and Waxwings now, as well as a 
few warblers and Rose-br. Grosbeaks. It was nice to see an adult male 
Black-thr. Blue Warbler as well as an adult male Hooded Warbler, since any day 
these may be the last for some months.
