With the tantalizing report of 12 warbler species by Steve Sanford
yesterday and the forcasted cool conditions, my friend Nick Friedman and I
decided to give Milford Mill a shot this morning. Shortly after arrival we
bumped into a few other birders. Later, Steve showed up as well and we
were six people scanning the vegetation back and forth along the creek.
The highlight was a YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER I spotted perched on a
sunlit branch close to the trail, plus a number of singing! migrant
warblers.

Total list:
Pileated Woodpecker -- 1
Red-bellied Woodpecker -- 4
Northern Flicker -- 2
