young
one with wings in flutter and a wide open bill. Most of the birds were
chestnut sided warblers in an array of plumages; some redstarts and a
few
chickadees. My guess is that there were 15 to 20 birds. I also suspect
that
this burst of activity might be evidence of migration restlessness on
an
evening that looks ideal for nocturnal flights. It was intense
activity and
then they were all gone.
