Hello friends,

Please forgive a slightly out-of-state report, but there was a major
southward movement along the Allegheny Front at Dolly Sods, West
Virginia this weekend.  Good numbers of Red-breasted Nuthatches up
there, and the first two 100+ bird days of the season at the banding
station.  Waves of passerines, many thousands of birds, could be seen
moving south along the ridge.  Especially numerous were Blackburnian,
Black-throated Green, Magnolia, Black-throated Blue, and Tennessee, but
also banded were Nashville, Redstart, Ovenbird, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll,
Yellowthroat, Chestnut-sided, Canada, Hooded, and probably a few more. 
Black-billed Cuckoo in hand was fun to see.  Raptors were also on the
move along the ridge, with Kestrel and Harrier most common.
