Nature Done Wright

   Another birdy morning at the Celery Farm. 10 warblers Friday with 9 of
them seen.
   3 singing ALDER FLYCATCHERS with one of them seen well (at Greenway–same spot where the half-singing/calling bird was yesterday)
    Other Bergen Co highlights today were a male BAY-BREASTED WARBLER at
McFaul Wildlife Center during lunch, (and also a BLACKPOLL singing the
alternate high-pitched trill song reminiscent of Worm-eating) and
finding an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER at Stiles' House this evening–the
2nd time I've seen one there.
   Stiles had a new yard bird today–a N.
Waterthrush which came to his bird bath/dripper before I arrived.
    Full CF list below…  (Thanks, Rob!)
