Greetings all,
On my weekly five-mile survey in the south end of Concord this morning I had a couple of signs of early dispersing songbirds. First was a juvenile Bobolink in a field where I do not think they bred, but the far bigger surprise was a singing Black-throated Green Warbler in residential shade trees near the Abbott-Downing elementary school. Today is roughly two months since the last time I saw this species during migration. Last weekend I had a Louisiana Waterthrush under similar circumstances, although the stream where it was could be breeding habitat now and then.
At the same time, several breeding species are getting quiet, including yellow warblers, Baltimore Orioles, and Wood Thrush. Even Red-eyed Vireo was represented by only a single individual this morning.
