The previous afternoon Bill's Tamaron lens came back repaired. Yeah! So we decided to check it out on the warblers on the ridge at Mud Lake. It was so quiet, it was hard to believe. Barbara went down to the water to look for the Peregrines, but they had left earlier she was told. She managed an Osprey flyby shot. There was nothing on the lawn area and nothing on the ridge until we got all the way to the BYC fence. Here we got a singing American Restart and a very cooperative Cape May Warbler.
A chickadee came to Barbara's seeds and a couple of hares crossed our path.
We walked back along the ridge, playing hide and seek with a female American Redstart. Finally we saw a molting Northern Cardinal.
Barbara checked the waterfront again and got a juvenile Chipping Sparrow and an Eastern Phoebe.
Bill went to look at Mud Lake, where there were only a few Wood Ducks and a distant Pied-billed Grebe.
