A descent fallout took place overnight at the Bashakill. I ended the morning with 19 species of warbler. The highlight of these were at least 25 BLACKPOLL WARBLERS on the Scotch Pines in the parking lot for the Orchard and Stop Sign Trail. I also had about two dozen Magnolia Warblers between there and the Nature Trail. The next highest count species was Canada Warbler with about 15 seen. A male BAY BREASTED WARBLER showed well for a short time. ALDER FLYCATCHERS are finally in at a couple of spots and an ACADIAN was found on Gumaer Falls Road. Flooding at the Bashakill has displaced many of the marsh birds, but fortunately, nesting had not really gotten underway for most of the birds. The Red-headed Woodpecker continues at Yankey Lake, but is getting harder to see as it has moved up slope from the road and can only occasionally be heard or spotted. John Haas
