Saw-whets have finally reached the state in force so oyu stand a good chance of finding them. After low numbers in Washington County due to poor migration conditions, things finally improved this weekend. 8 were netted Saturday night, which is normally a good catch for a day's work. Then last night I netted 56 saw-whets! The most I ever captured in one night anywhere. Also heard many siskins this morning along with both kinglets and perhaps a crossbill? (still not certain on the cossbill calls so I could be wrong).
