After the heavy fog lifted this morning, I checked out Palmeter 
Woods. Quite a few birds were active.

- Blue-headed Vireo (~8)
- Parula Warbler (1)...seen by Nancy Nickerson earlier in morning.
- Hermit Thrush (3)
- Northern Waterthrush (2)...none in the alder swamp as yet.
- White-winged Crossbill (2 small flocks).
- Least Flycatcher (2)
- Winter Wren (3....not in full song yet).
- Yellow-rumped Warbler (numerous).
- Pileated Woodpecker (2).
- Wilson's Snipe (1)
- Swamp Sparrow (2....singing in the alder swamp near the parking lot).
- Eastern Phoebe (1....as reported earlier by Andy Dean at the first 
bridge). Looks like this will be a good summer for this species; I 
know of four others on territory near my home in Coldbrook.
- Brown Creeper (many moving N to S just at one location).
- Black-capped Chickadee (unusually, many still in flocks!)
- Pileated Woodpecker (2)
- Flicker (numerous)
