As Rick Sussman stated in his earlier post, it was a most excellent morning
along the BMNT. The BLUE-WINGED WARBLER was indeed a thrill, a lifer for me
and BMNT #142. The PHILADELPHIA VIREO was my second one seen and BMNT #143.
Raptors did rule this morning: 2 flyover Osprey; 2-No. Harrier inside the
landfill; 2-Coopers Hawk (1 in leisurely pursuit of a MODO); 3
Red-shouldered Hawk; 40+ Broad-winged Hawk (various kettles, singles or
fly-by groups; )and 1 flyover Am. Kestrel. 20 or so Black Vulture added to
the aerial display.
