65 Species Sunday


September 2 Email:

Hey Ric,

I had 65 species at the Wastewater this morning -- was hoping maybe some more rarities may have been blown down by the thunderstorm.  Mostly usual suspects, while most summer species were gone already.  A few wonderful warblers east of Moorland on White (1 Cape May, 1 Palm, 2 Black-throated Green) close to where I often will find some.  Two Vesper Sparrows.  Several Eastern Meadowlarks and Eastern Kingbirds remain, and a good many waterfowl.  Highlight was a most-obliging cinnamon-chested Northern Harrier sitting, preening, dusting, stretching, alighting, hovering and soaring right in front of me.  Blessings be with you.  Sincerely,
