Walked Blue Hill Trail over an extended lunch hour today, birding, =
checking for the Chat and enjoying the cooler weather.
May have heard the Chat 100+ yards away on the left hand side of the =
trail head twice - but distance and catbird presence makes me hesitant =
to state so definitively.
Eight warbler species (nine if one counts the YBC), numerous tanagers =
and an apparently nesting Broad-winged Hawk made the walk very pleasant. =
More heard than seen, however!
Be aware that there are about 25 trees down across the trail, and many =
sections are waterlogged (one was even flowing).
Have noticed that singing Golden-winged significantly outnumber =
verbalizing Blue-winged throughout the open parts of Sherburne NWR - a =
trend that I'm heartily in favor of.
Good birding!
