My wife Melanie and I spent the evening at Mer Bleue. Overall it was quiet, but highlights included a singing BALTIMORE ORIOLE near the parking lot and a single male COMMON YELLOWTHROAT near the northern portion of the boardwalk. We heard a HERMIT THRUSH singing in the distance, spotted two NASHVILLE WARBLERS, and had a brief encounter with a LINCOLN'S SPARROW, which I have been searching for at the bog for two years. The Lincoln's did not sing and was flushed from just under the boardwalk, but it provided a clear view of itself before disappearing into the brush.
