Hi Folks,

Great day today!  Savage River SF:
2 gobbling turkeys
2 nighthawks
1 singing whip
4 Ruffed Grouse
I watched Hooded Warblers build a nest
I saw Ravens copulate
more Black-throated Blues than I've ever
seen/heard before
But not as many as Red-eyed Vireos!
Cerulean Warblers
Acadian Fly
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
several Black-and-white Warblers, including one
guy dancing for his gal
several Black-throated Green Warblers
1 pair Juncos
found a Pileated Woodpecker nest
many singing Scarlett tanagers
few Ovenbirds
couple Chesnut-sided Warblers
Possible pair of Broad-winged Hawks

Finzel Swamp (got there at 12:30 pm)
MANY Chesnut-sided Warblers
1 Hooded Warbler
1 Wilson's Warbler
2 Canada Warbler
several singing Northern Waterthrushes
2 Spotted Sandpipers
2 Magnolia Warblers
1 Bay-breasted Warbler
several Common Yellowthroats
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Field, Chipping and Song Sparrows
2 Hummers

So far I haven't heard any Worm-eating Warblers,
though they're quite common in Green Ridge SF.

Good day,
Charlie
