Hi all --

Not anywhere as active as yesterday, most of the White-throats had
apparently moved on to newer pastures (or, more likely, wood-lots). However
still a nice selection and a beautiful day to be out! Warblers are down, but
still lots of Kinglets and Phoebes. Our first Fox Sparrow of the season
enlivened the morning. We hoped to make it an 9-sparrow day but could not
locate either of yesterday's Lincoln's -- oh well...
