Hello All,
        I got out early hoping to catch some migrants with the passage of
the cold front on Saturday.  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.

Good Birding,
Glen Lovelace III
Seaford, DE
