or hell, if you're not a fan of trying to ID Catharus Thrushes!

Today is my stream sampling day at SERC in Edgewater. The back road is closed during the day unless you have a valid reason to be on it, like tending stream samplers. Anyway, the trails and road had a nice variety of thrushes including 3 Veeries, 4 Gray-cheeked Thrushes, 1 Swainson's Thrush, plus 8 Wood Thrushes and 1 American Robin. A little bit of warbler diversity including singing birds:

Northern Parula    3
Black-throated Blue Warbler    5
Blackburnian Warbler    1
Yellow-throated Warbler    2
American Redstart    3
Ovenbird    4
Kentucky Warbler    1 (Stan, this was in the same location where we didn't find it last week!)
Common Yellowthroat    4
Hooded Warbler    1
