CKAS got in on the tree week action with a walk at Lexington Cemetery. Had a
pretty good day with ebird flagging some late species. We had 46 species with 7
warblers and 4 vireos. Found a Lincoln's Sparrow hanging out in back of the
cemetery, a bunch of Phoebes, Red-breasted nuthatch, my FOS Hermit Thrush and
late Scarlet Tanager. We also watched a couple of Crows harassing an immature
Red-tailed.
Included some photos with the eBird list for those interested.
