Pretty good morning on the Paint Branch Trail, depsite being overcast
and then somewhat windy when the sun finally came out. Highlights for
me included a small flock of Purple Finch foraging in the Metzerott
Parking lot and a Blue Grosbeak in the scrubby area between the last
bridge and Cherry Hill road. Plenty of woodpeckers, including good
looks at the Pileated in the Swamp. Full report is below.
