I took advantage of a rare sunny day by heading over to Silvio Conte NWR-Fort River once again. Although it started off cool it warmed up nicely by mid morning and it was comfortable to be out without a hat and gloves. It was another banner morning there with many highlights including a single Common Redpoll (hopefully just the vanguard of many more of this irruptive species that looks to be moving in), a Black Vulure with a few Turkey Vultures, another late Eastern Phoebe and a double digit total of Palm Warblers (with both subspecies present)...more on the
warblers here. There were also a great number of Rusty Blackbirds with at least 49 individuals present, decent counts of American Pipits, continued numbers of flyover Pine Siskins and Purple Finches, a trilling Eastern Screech Owl, six species of woodpeckers and decent sparrow diversity...full list from the morning attached
here.
