Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Sackville. This week the evenings have been very quiet but Dennis has been doing a little better in the mornings. His sightings for the mornings include Blackburnian, Wilson, Blackpoll, Black-throated Green and Yellow Warblers. Non warblers included House Wren, Kestrel, Savanna & Lincoln Sparrow. Friday mourning however has been the busiest, this morning Dennis and I racked up a nice little list of birds. No big flocks but lots in individuals floating around. Highlights included: 1 House Wren near the Irving Street Entrance and possibly a second one near the Pig Run. Note the last 3 out of 4 falls there have been House Wrens at the cemetery and they generally stay until early December. 1 Immature Male Blue Grosbeak with sparrow flock - Irving Street Entrance 1 female Indigo Bunting with sparrow flock - Irving Street Entrance, gave me great looks while I was sitting in my car, but both it and the Blue Grosbeak were nervous when we were out the car. 1 adult female Pine Warbler, newly arrived constantly moving bird, in the Left Side Corner and along the bottom of the cemetery. 1 Lincoln Sparrow - present since last weekend behind Tom's or along the entrance road. 1 Rusty Blackbird with very nice rusty highlights - flyover. 1 Eastern Phoebe - Pine Slope - There were a fair number of flycatchers kicking around the cemetery this morning most we identified, including a half a dozen each of Least and Alders. There was also an Alder/Willow type flycatcher that made two sounds that neither of us have heard before. I am going to do a little more research but I suspect Willow Flycatcher. - Insect eaters this morning included Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireos, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Northern Parula, Magnolia Warbler, Common Yellowthroat and Blackpoll. We also had a mystery warbler that may of been a Northern Waterthrush. - Sparrows included Song, White-throated, Lincoln, Swamp, Savanna, and large mystery sparrow that may of been a White-crowned. Well there you go, some good birds and a few mysteries to chew on, hopefully some of these birds will stick around for the weekend. - Cheers, Clarence PS: Last week I forget to mention that Fulton had a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher in the lower left hand corner of the cemetery.
