Hey everyone, This morning I biked up E Wheelock towards the base of Balch Hill, along Grasse Rd. I ran into a small flock on the way up that included a number of Black-throated Greens, a couple Pine Warblers, and Red-eyed Vireos. At my spot along Grasse Rd I didn't run into many birds, but had a nice small flock that consisted of Black-throated Greens, a pair of Black-throated Blues, and Red-eyed Vireos. I also am pretty sure I saw quickly an Empidonax, but I couldn't relocate it. As I was preparing to leave the area I was surprised to have an Ovenbird drop literally out of nowhere right in front of me; one of my favorite species of warblers. Then I biked down Reservoir Rd to return to campus and encountered some more migrants: of course more Black-throated Greens, but also Blackburnian, Nashville, and Yellow-rumped, as well as some Purple Finches and Blue-headed Vireo. Below are the two lists of birds I had while biking and birding this morning. Cheers, Kyle Kittelberger Dartmouth ------------------------------------------------------ E Wheelock Rd/Balch Hill, Grafton, US-NH Sep 16, 2012 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Protocol: Area 2.0 ac 11 species (+1 other taxa) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 Northern Flicker 1 Empidonax sp. 1 Red-eyed Vireo 2 Black-capped Chickadee 6 Tufted Titmouse 4 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 American Robin 2 Ovenbird 1 Black-throated Blue Warbler 2 male and female Pine Warbler 1 Black-throated Green Warbler 4 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org/) ----------------------------------------------------- Reservoir Rd, Grafton, US-NH Sep 16, 2012 12:10 PM - 12:30 PM Protocol: Traveling 2.0 mile(s) 13 species Hairy Woodpecker 1 Eastern Phoebe 1 Blue-headed Vireo 2 Blue Jay 2 Black-capped Chickadee 8 Tufted Titmouse 2 White-breasted Nuthatch 2 American Robin 2 Nashville Warbler 1 Blackburnian Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 Black-throated Green Warbler 6 Purple Finch 6 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org)
