Hi All,
My son and I drove down to C.F. Phelps early this morning
in hopes of seeing a Summer Tanager. We birded down the path
from the second parking lot off of rt 632 (Rogers Ford rd, DeLorme
pg 69-C7). Didn't see a Tanager but he got two new lifers in a
Hooded Warbler and Yellow-throated Vireo. A lot of Yellow-breasted
Chats and Common Yellowthroats were present. We were toasted out
by 9:30am

Elsewhere in the county coming home we stopped along the roadside
and picked up 3 Grasshopper Sparrows a Northern Bobwhite and
( 2 Great Blue Herons, 29 Canada Geese and 1 female Wood Duck at
the large pond off of Belvoir Rd (rt 709)).
Happy 4th of July,
