Phil Kenny and I led a bird-walk at Great Falls NP this morning. Didn't rain,
but very gloomy, so only two other NVBC members showed up, and almost as few
birds! Only two passage migrants. Most interesting was a pair of
female/juvenile Scarlet Tanagers, each of which showed a pale (primary) panel
on the dark
wings, which I have not seen before.
