Gerd Rotzell and I birded the "Shag End" peninsula of Shad Bay for 
several hours this morning.   There were quite a few migrants in 
evidence -- many flocks of Eastern "Yellow" Palm Warblers, 25+ birds 
in total, and a six-pack of Blackpoll Warblers.   We also had six 
Hermit Thrushes, and an equal number of robins.   Lots of Blue Jays 
were moving through in small-to-medium sized flocks, and there was a 
late migrant immature Osprey.   30+ Boreal Chickadees outnumbered the 
Black-cappeds by 5-1, and we also enjoyed a visit by a family of Gray 
Jays.  Add in a Ruffed Grouse, and it was a fine morning indeed.

Cheers,

Blake
