Eid Al Adha coincided with Yom Kippur this week, which meant another holiday during peak migration season! I headed off to Greenwood Cemetery to try and connect with the Clay-coloured Sparrow that had been hanging around a drying pool called Dell water. No luck sadly, though we were compensated with a great little
Blue Grosbeak, as well as a procession of warblers and other migrants. Best of the rest included
Blackpoll, Canada and
Palm Warblers, Northern Parula, Northern Waterthrush, Swainson's and
Wood Thrushes, Veery, Brown Thrasher, Blue-headed, White-eyed and Red-eyed Vireos, Eastern Phoebe and
Eastern Wood-Pewee.
