A Veery quiet day out

White-crowned Sparrow Zonotrichia leucophrys

Veery Catharus fuscescens

Purple Finch Carpodacus purpureus

  Still unseasonably fresh out, and today felt unseasonably quiet - a definite clear-out underway in the past few days. The summit woods were devoid of migrants, as were the cemeteries - at first.
  At 1:30, everything started up singing all at once, which led to a brief sensory overload.
