I explored Galts Mill Road from Stapleton east to Riverville, doing roadside
birding for about 10 miles in predominantly wooded habitat with a few open
pasture/meadow areas. Not loads of migrants, with Yellowrumps predominating,
but a Nashville Warbler seen and heard singing was a highlight. The list
follows.
