RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER in Middlesex this morning. The first I've seen in Washington County.

Yesterday birding with Ed Hack and Rolando Delgado of Costa Rica, we had 2 AMERICAN BITTERNS in East Montpelier and a NORTHERN GOSHAWK on a nest in Adamant.

Also a smattering of warblers - American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Pine Warbler, Ovenbird, Blackburnian Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Nashville Warbler, Black-throated Green and Black-throated Blue Warblers.

 Good birding!
