Where's Wallace?? :)
Here's a list of birds I saw this morning (full eBird report below) -- no
doubt others can add more (for example, others saw a female CAPE MAY
WARBLER at the Maintenance Yard). I had a dozen warbler species,
highlighted by a single male BLACKBURNIAN at the equitation field early in
the morning, a single male NASHVILLE (that I tried to make into a
Connecticut -- sorry about that) at the nature center, and *lots* of
BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS. Other highlights included PURPLE FINCH
(juvenile male) at the yard (pointed out by another birder), RUBY-CROWNED
KINGLET (seen by various at the yard, less well by me), a single SWAMP
SPARROW at the yard (just a brief glimpse), and a CAROLINA CHICKADEE
feeding fledglings in a tree cavity near the nature center.
