Phil Morgan, Marianne, and I birded around the AMAS area on Saturday.
We picked up some pretty good birds, including a Grasshopper Sparrow,
Mourning Warbler, Prarie Warbler, and lots of Indigo Buntings. In
all, a total of 83 birds. We missed Lake Runnymede because of a
parade and didn't have time for Herrick's Cove, which really put a
crimp in the total, but we didn't do bad for the day. Final count on
the warblers was 14, but we couldn't find a Nashville or a
Blackburnian anywhere, try as we might. We had a great time,
although poor Marianne was really dragging for the last hour. We
started at 6:45 AM and got home at 8 PM.
