16 species of warblers in Belleplain

The Sunday morning tour through Belleplain State Forest produced a nice mix of resident and migrant songbirds. The group enjoyed superb looks at Acadian Flycatcher, observed both Gnatcatcher and Yellow-throated Warbler nests, and saw evidence of a decent passerine flight last night, including a nice male Rose-breasted Grosbreak and quite a few Blackpoll Warblers. A Gray-cheeked Thrush called twice at Sunset Bridge, but unfortunately no one else was able to lock onto it.
