I had a nice morning, though the migrant warblers were a bit slower than I had hoped. On Oak Grove Rd, a Cooper's Hawk cruised by and one female Orchard Oriole by the abandoned yellow house. At the RR crossing in Oak Grove (DE side), an adult and a juv. Grasshopper Sparrow, RE Vireo and Bobolink overhead. Back on the farm, I had a nice flock that included 2 Redstarts, a Magnolia Warb., Great Created Fly, Least Fly, 2 BG Gnat, Scarlet Tanager, ~15 Indigo Bunting and several Blue Grosbeak. At the farm pond, 6 Great Egrets making easy pickings of the tadpoles trapped in rapidly drying puddles. Nearby were 2 late Kingbirds. On the RR nearer to Kinder Rd., I had a Prairie Warb, Pine Warb and a Redstart; and a RB Nut (the first here in 2+ years). In the puddle at the small cattle feedlot on Kinder Rd, 6 Lesser Yellows. In all, 52 species and 4 year birds for the homelist. Not too bad after all.
