Spent a foggy, drizzle filled morning at Orchard Hill on the UMASS campus with Ian Davies and Nick Barber and had loads of birds. A large influx overnight with many first of year birds as well as high counts. Certainly my biggest count of Black and White Warblers ever. The birds were largly silent as they fed at all levels from the ground to the tops of the trees. A wonderful morning to be out.
