Evidence of migrant songbirds was extremely low in Sapsucker Woods on Sunday morning. I found only one bird that's not a likely breeding species - a male CANADA WARBLER along the road, offering some fine viewing north of the gates and across from the orange hydrant. A few years ago, a Canada

Hi everyone, Somehow Mark and I didn't run into each other in Sapsucker Woods today, so maybe we were visiting different areas? Anyway, I did find a few different migrants than Mark, with both BLACKPOLL WARBLER (Podell boardwalk) and BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (Woodleton boardwalk) singing, but

No sight of the previously mentioned Broad-winged Hawks for several days. Their old nest still looks abandoned. Road work below is done, but the stick nest under construction nearby has acquired a leafy roof (squirrels!) So, if the Broad-wings are still in the vicinity, their nest remains
