Things started slowly but picked up as the morning warmed up.
29 species of neotropical migrants which included 18 species of warblers and 4
species of vireos were seen and or heard on Sharps Ridge this morning by folks
involved in the KTOS walk. We got pretty spread out over the ridge, but I
think this tally includes most of the species observed. I counted at least 23
birders including folks from Texas and New Jersey that found Sharps Ridge by
the bird finding info on the TOS website!
My FOS birds of the day: catbird, chestnut-sided warbler, Nashville warbler,
black-throated blue warbler, and cerulean warbler. Baybreasted was seen by
another group!
