Yesterday, as part of the Chesapeake Audubon Birdathon (to raise money for different projects), Kye Jenkins and I began the day at Susquehanna State Park, and we were lucky enough to hit nice pockets of birds very early. We had most warbler species in about 2 hours--in just under 4 hours we had 24 warbler species. We left just as the wind picked up. We had 82 species total. We then left for Swan Harbor and found some cool birds there before going to Delaware. For the day we had 125 species.
