I have never seen 26 Kildeer all at once before, but these were all in a line in the short grass of the big field. The two sharpies were chasing each other around. The warblers were frustrating, because the light was not good, so they just looked like silhouettes. Location: Dartmouth Riding Center, Etna Observation date: 9/24/09 Notes: Also saw a ? Blackpoll Warbler, but could not see well enough to positively ID.
