Hi all,
� Went up to Aspen Hill Rec Area to train my homing pigeons (yes, I'm training homing pigeons now)
and decided to take a 'short' walk. Two hours later... got into some good mixed flocks of warblers, vireos and flycatchers. My first of fall Swainson's Thrush foraged in porcelain berry with 2 Wood Thrushes and several Gray Catbirds. While watching warblers dash about, they sudden became quite, and vanished. An immature Sharp-shinned Hawk made an appearance.
Here is a short list of sightings:
