| Wilson's Warbler |
I went to Plum Island today hoping to see a lot of birds. However, there were so many birds at Parker River NWR that it exceeded my expectations by ten fold. I got to the island about 7 am and planned on staying till about noon and exploring Martin Burns or going shad fishing in the Merrimack. There were so many birds all day that I didn't leave until 6 pm. I spent eleven hours birding and it flew by. The amount of common birds was amazing amount but there was also a ton of the rare birds also. I saw more Wilson's Warblers Friday than I had in my life combined.
Here is my tally for the day
18 species of warblers
3 Blackburnian
8 Wilsons
6 Canada
1 Cape May
15+ Bay Breasted
10+ Chestnut Sided
10+ Blackpoll
Over 25 each of Black Throated Blue, Magnolias, Black Throated Green, Black and White
Over 100 Redstarts and Common Yellowthroats
Other Warblers seen- Northern Waterthrush, Ovenbird, Yellow, Yellow Rumped, Blue Winged
Other Good Birds- Scarlet Tanager, Lincoln's Sparrow, tons of Orioles, Kingbird, Purple Martins
