This morning, as we were returning from our daily dog walk through the
open fields on our farm, I spotted a warbler bobbing its tail in the
multiflora rosebush along the road close to the house. Gus tugged
impatiently on his leash as I tried to manage binoculars and dog at the
same time. What I thought was a palm transformed into a magnolia as the
mid-tail white spots/band stood out, and I saw the eye ring. I guess it
was bobbing its tail to keep its balance with the wind howling across
Flint Ridge. [...]40_13Oct200614:02:[log in to unmask]

Today I followed-up with the trash clean-up project from Saturday at Hoover  
Reservoir. I went back into Areas M & N which weren't covered Saturday. I  got 
to combine birding with the clean-up. Shorebirds were somewhat slow this  
afternoon. On the mudflats and sand spits between Area N and the boardwalk at  
Area M there were 9 Greater Yellowlegs, 10 Dunlin, 3 Semipalmated Plovers and  
many Killdeer but nothing else. There were several Common Terns skirting about, 
 23 Great Blue Herons clustered about, Double-crested Cormorants on a far 
sand  spit and an adult Bald Eagle perched off Wiese Road.
 
Land species were also limited. The more interesting finds included too  many 
Yellow-rumped Warblers to count, many White-throated Sparrows and a few  
Swamp Sparrows, several Brown Creepers, a Pileated Woodpecker and a Barred  Owl.
