Hi all,
My father had a one day conference for the state in
O.C. and gave me a chance to go birding for at least 5
hrs. South winds didn't bring that much flight but it
was nice to see several sp. of warblers in closeup
view among pine trees. I probably had same Lark
Sparrow from double H's or the Borderick's. It was
feeding along gravel bits on northbound lane of
Bayberry Dr., 1/2 mile south of bridge.
On way home via Rt 404, had one Palm Warbler of
unknown race along wire in Caroline County.
