Hi Everyone;
Only one person showed up for this field trip: Richard Stern; probably due to the weather outlook: rain!
First thing in the morning it was quite nice; but by 8:00 am it had clouded over and we were treated to sporadic rain showers. By 11:00 am it was raining in earnest and we had to call it a day.
We managed to tally 29 species, the highlights being a Barred Owl calling first thing in the morning; Red Crossbills flying past, Evening Grosbeaks, a Grey Catbird, a Red-tailed Hawk, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and an Eastern Wood-Pewee. We heard three different flycatchers, Alder, Least and Yellow-bellied; and saw, as well as heard, several warblers singing: Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, and Palm.
This is a difficult square to access. It's entirely in the woods, with very few accessible logging roads, no homes, cottages, or feeders; and only one lake which was in a spot we couldn't reach. Richard's 4 wheel drive vehicle proved invaluable!
Adding our sightings to my scouting trip the day before, we managed to turn this square yellow (More than 33 species recorded) so I feel it was a good day, despite the weather.
Many thanks, Richard, for all your help!
Cheers;
Suzanne
