Hey folks,

Spent some time this morning along Mink Brook to see what new arrivals the weather had brought in last night. Very birdy morning to be out. Had 17 warbler species, with top highlights being FOS Tennessee Warbler (singing, amazing to hear how similar the song is to N. Waterthrush, at least aspects of it) and FOS Northern Waterthrush. Other highlights were a male Wilson's Warbler, female Black-throated Blue, 3 Baltimore Orioles in the same tree, and Veery 'everywhere'. I was short on time so wasn't able to cover the other side of the brook. Notable birds below.

Late this morning I was at Mascoma Lake and a nice stretch of the river below the dam for a class. There was a Common Loon on the lake, and at least 3 Spotted Sandpipers along the river at various points.
