This was all just memorial stadium. This is a photo Ian took of their
camera roll after photographing all the birds.
The yellow rail is likely gone and should not be looked for. It was in a
very dangerous spot where it could easily be spooked and fly into windows.
Here is the total tally
Nashville warbler: 3
Lincoln’s sparrow: 15
Clay colored sparrow: 5
swamp sparrow: 1
Common yellowthroat: 4
Chimney swift: 2
orange crowned warbler: 5
gray catbird: 1
Virginia rail: 1
Yellow rail: 1
Sedge wren: 1
mourning warbler: 1
these are birds that were either dead or looked severely stunned/in decline
because of a strike. just from last night at one building
