I haven't been seeing so many Redstarts any more. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Rimmer <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 9:05 PM Subject: [UVB] [Fwd: eBird Report - Wilder Dam - boat ramp , 9/27/09] To: [log in to unmask] Despite getting soaked in the rain, I had a good hour of birding at the Wilder boat access this afternoon. This should be a good spot over the next month, especially for sparrows. Thickets around the parking area and under the power line are laden with fruit. Scanning the river from the concrete abutment on the point could be productive once the waterfowl migration gets going. Highlights today: Location: Wilder Dam - boat ramp Observation date: 9/27/09 Number of species: 22 Wood Duck 2 Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) 7 Eastern Phoebe 1 BAmerican Robin 25 Gray Catbird 4 Cedar Waxwing 3 Palm Warbler (Western) 1 Palm Warbler (Yellow) 1 Blackpoll Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Scarlet Tanager 1 Field Sparrow 2 Savannah Sparrow 2 Song Sparrow 21 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Swamp Sparrow 1 White-throated Sparrow 6 Indigo Bunting 2 This report was generated automatically by eBird v2(http://ebird.org/vt) Later, at Rt. 5 Coop gardens and surrounding area: Location: Coop Gardens - Norwich Observation date: 9/27/09 Number of species: 9 Killdeer 3 Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) 1 Eastern Phoebe 4 Blue-headed Vireo 1 House Wren 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 1 Common Yellowthroat 3 Savannah Sparrow 10 Song Sparrow 3 White-throated Sparrow 5 -- **************** Chris Rimmer Vermont Center for Ecostudies P.O.
