Nature Done Wright

Another cold front, another very good morning at the farm [on Tuesday]. Most of the
activity was near LeConte's Lane [at the end of the Dead Zone, walking clock-wise]–Had to sift thru the Yellow-rumps…

Highlights incl. my first of season YB Sapsucker, a cooperative
Lincoln's Sparrow, and 8 species of warbler incl. Nashville, Magnolia,
and a record-late for CF Black-and-White. Accipiters were much in
evidence, too.
