This morning's Windsor County Quest outing featured unexpectedly good 
weather and excellent birding.  About 20 people gathered at the Windsor 
State Farm Corrections property, where we found pairs of both Blue- and 
Golden-winged Warblers feeding young, had an extended look at a 
Black-billed Cuckoo, and listened to both Alder and Willow Flycatchers 
singing side by side.  We then stopped at the junction of Marton and 
Hunt roads, where we had close encounters with an American Bittern and 
Wilson Snipe.  Our final stop was at the Simon Pearce floodplain forest, 
where we found pairs of Yellow-billed Cuckoos and Blue-gray 
Gnatcatchers, but no Red-bellied Woodpeckers or Yellow-throated Vireos.

A great morning!

Chris
