Hi Everyone, Friend Mike Sanders drove up from Bristol yesterday to bird around our place before going to the BCBC picnic with us in the evening. We found 47 species for the day, eleven of them being warblers. I was a bit surprised to find that many warblers at our place this early in August. The most unusual birds for the day were a Chestnut-sided Warbler and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. We had 4 woodpecker species, 3 flycatchers and 3 Vireo species. Here is the complete list for the day.
