Mountain (Kings) f= or late arrivals. Travelling W. on North River Road, the first site was fro= m McGee Lake to the power line which was extremely quiet with only 2 Ovenbi= rds singing!! (In the past this has been a choice area with Least and Oliv= e-sided Flycatchers, a diversity of warblers (including Black-throated Blu= e), Winter Wren, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, etc). The next stop was the Granite = Woods Road, a former woods road, which has been named since a cottage subdi= vision has been underway for a few years. Again very quiet except for the = ever-present Ovenbirds and a few warblers at one point. I tried an abandone= d woods road where I did hear a Swainson's Thrush, a FOY for me so the best= bird for the morning. Later in the afternoon a Broad-winged Hawk was soari= ng in our area (Coldbrook) but was quickly discovered by a group of crows w= hich harassed the hawk so much that it left the area heading west. I expect such quiet birding mornings will become the norm as bird populatio= ns continue to decline, a depressing thought. Last evening I heard my first Veery calling along the RR bed in Coldbrook (= KIngs).
