NH Audubon Mascoma Chapter today conducted the first outing in its annual "Warbler Wednesdays" series held at Lebanon's "Boston Lot Lake." The results were jaw-dropping to say the least. It seems clear that the morning's cool, damp and misty conditions helped sustain the fallout events that have been reported in the Connecticut River Valley and on the seacoast over the last few days.
Seven participants recorded 66 species in just under three hours compiling a list whose scope and diversity is unlike anything I've experienced at "Boston Lot Lake" in almost fifteen years of birding there. But it wasn't only the number of species recorded, encompassing 325 individuals, that was impressive, it was the numbers of individuals counted within many of the species listed. A flyover of eleven common loons. Several flyovers of migrating blue jay flocks that in sum totaled 105 individuals! Seven gray catbirds, six ovenbirds and twenty-two yellow-rumped warblers were among other notable sightings.
