Fellow birders Daryl Owens and Don Carrier came up to the mountain this
morning to help with the migration species count in the yard and fields. We
had 55 species including 14 warbler species. At times birds were everywhere,
and the added pairs of eyes surely helped with adding them to the list. The
warbler of the day was a Wilson's Warbler, not a common species in our area
even during migration. Sharp-shinned Hawk, Baltimore Oriole and
Rose-breasted Grosbeak were some other interesting species present.
Here is the day's list.
