Hi VTBirders,
This morning was epic at Colchester Pond. The west and south sides of the
pond were most productive but birds were practically everywhere with the
warblers being particularly abundant. I birded with John Peckham and Jacob
Crawford and between us we tallied 85 species including 23 species of
warblers. Some highlights included more than 30 (!) Cape May and 20
Bay-breasted Warblers, Semipalmated Plovers and Least Sandpipers (found by
John), and many others. A Prairie Warbler seen there yesterday was not
relocated. Hopefully some of these birds stick around for others to
observe. My eBird checklist (to be amended with photos at some point) is
below:

Good Birding,
Larry Clarfeld
