Had a singing male Hooded Warbler on Blue Hill Trail (10 minutes walk on the
left hand fork) this morning.

Initially sang loudly - popped out at first pish - gave nice profile looks -
then vanished back into the bushes on the left hand side of the trail.  May
it stay for Saturday's MOU trip!

Other birds of interest included a late Black-throated Green,
drumming/fleeing Ruffed Grouse and a probable Olive-sided Flycatcher (was
not singing).

Good birding to all!
