I birded Lake Farm, along with Bob Bucci and Daryl Schiefman (apologies for the
probable misspelling) from about 7:00-11:30 this morning. We had great looks
at the Harris's Sparrow, out near the last picnic area with the old-fashioned
pump. I first saw it down in the brush from the bench that overlooks the lake
there, and we later all saw it sitting on a branch farther north on the path
that curves downhill near the lake. Other highlights were 15 warbler species,
including single Magnolia, Cape May, Black & White, Nashville and Wilson's,
plus five Blackpoll, two or three each Black-throated Green and Golden-wings,
and a bunch of very vocal Tennessees and No. Waterthrushes. Only thrushes
besides Robins were a couple of Swainson's.
While we didn't see or hear any Scarlet Tanagers there today, I saw an
orange-variant male along the lakeshore path this past Wednesday evening - the
second one I've ever seen. Very striking bird. Also had a couple of Veeries
that evening.
