Hi all, I spent from 7 am until around 2 pm at home today (Saturday) to see how many species of birds I could see or hear from our property. Several times, I decided nothing else was going to show up and started to head out toward the car to do errands only to hear something new singing! The total was a surprising 53, listed below as my eBIRD submission. It seems that birds were quickly moving through - several species sang once or twice and then disappeared - especially warblers moving along in small groups. One of the birds was a Cape May Warbler - the second ever on our property, and the first was seen only yesterday. Happy birding! Laura
