Rainbirding NDG, August 30

American Redstart Setophaga ruticilla

Song Sparrow Melospiza melodia





-Rainy and 13 - lovely out if you ask me.

-Started slow, but got on a thin warbler trickle in some dense woods. Two American Redstarts and a Black-throated Green Warbler were briefly but well seen, before they lasered through the treetops, as warblers do.

-Had to work for the birds in the rain – really dig through the deep tangles.

-Strong winds made getting on contact calls difficult.

-No sign of the Red-eyed Vireos that oversummer in this location.

-Haven’t seen a Chimney Swift since August 16.

-11 species in 90 minutes.
