I received several additional reports on this morning's birds. Dave  
Bolton weathered the mist this morning between 7 am and 8:15 am and  
found the following:

-----Ridge
Common Nighthawk     still resting at yesterday's spot in the walnut  
tree
Northern Parula      12+
Black-throated Green Warbler      12+
Black-and-white Warbler      ~6
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler
Scarlet Tanager

-----Dog Run
Eastern Phoebe
Common Yellowthroat     4-5
DARK-EYED JUNCO      1  FOS

------Maintenance Yard
Pileated Woodpecker
Northern Flicker     2

Jim Lemert reported seeing Wood Thrush and Swainson's Thrush, a Common  
Yellowthroat and a Chestnut-sided Warbler at the Ridge.

Mike Mangiaracina reported seeing the Nighthawk at the Ridge  
(previously noted).  He also saw a group of Flickers along the Fence  
Line and noted on one flicker a  "...distinct red bordering the edges  
on each tail feather as it flew away."  No other markings were observed.

Have Fun Birding!
