Today being August 1, decided it was time to officially open the fall warbler season on Ward Hill in South Duxbury. A pre-breakfast walk through the overgrown fields below our camp produced good evidence of post-breeding activity with about 25 Black-capped Chickadees leading the way. Also vireos, waxwings, a Brown Creeper, a very young and barely recognizable Golden-crowned Kinglet, sapsuckers and robins.  As for the warblers, found the following: (1) Black-and-white, (2) Ovenbird, (1) Black-throated Green, (2) Black-throated Blue, (2) Chestnut-sided, (1) Blackburnian, (1) Canada, and at least (6) Common Yellowthroat. 

Will be going out pretty  much every morning for the next 6 weeks or so. If tempted to join in the fun, e-mail us privately (not over the list serve).  

Pipit.
