This morning brought a stop-and-go flight along a broad front, with Blackpolls, Parulas, and Palms leading the charge. A couple American Pipits, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and a Warbling Vireo were enjoyable, as was the Merlin that almost snagged a Scarlet Tanager <15ft above observers' heads.
Weather and time: sunny; 57–63ºF; winds N at 10 mph; 0–10% cloud cover; excellent visibility; 0651 sunrise; 4.25 hours. Observer: Tom Reed.
