that's some X-Files level birding shit.)

More evidence of the over-zealous scrub clearing of late -
many brushy areas that have been around for as long as I can
 remember have been cleared to the ground.

Mount-Royal Cemetery, (Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery), September 5, 2019

  How is 2019, for that matter. Blew up my legs today at the cemeteries for almost five hours. Birdy in spots, and at times. Had a Cooper’s as well as a Sharp-shinned Hawk, and I heard what sounded like a Black-billed Cuckoo again around Oak Ridge. Nice to see Nashville and Tennessee Warblers, it’s been a while. Towards the end I watched a Black Swallowtail get bill-shwacked by a Great Crested Flycatcher, but drunkenly fly off. Ended up with 37 species, 9 of them warblers.
