Yesterday I did some more atlassing in my Mush-A-Mush square and was pleased to upgrade a number of species. I was also surprised by numbers of one particular species which is not common here at all. In terms of leps and odes, few were present yesterday. I was happy to see that a young pileated woodpecker is just about ready to fledge. The female came in to feed the youngster. I had blackburnian warbler carrying food for young as well as black-throated green, . A rose-breasted grosbeak female was scolding and following us along. The species that was unexpected was Lincoln's sparrow. We really do not see many here in this area other than in migration. I had one in a particular location earlier in the year. Today there were two adults and two young. I had an adult with one young in another location and yet in a third location two adults and one young. That makes nine total for this bird. Today in the area of Milton, out birding with Dorothy Poole, we confirmed another youngster and an adult. Dorothy had seen this young bird prior to today also. Milton was great for odes and leps today. For leps we had dun skipper, red admiral, European skipper, Northern crescent, tiger swallowtail, common ringlet and one other that I photographed that needs id. Odes were variable dancer, powdered dancer, slaty skimmer, ebony jewelwing, Hudsonian whiteface, River jewelwing, lancelet clubtail, and there were other larger ones flying that would not stop long enough for id.
