Bolton weathered the mist this morning between 7 am and 8:15 am and
found the following:
-----Ridge

tree

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

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!
