Yellow-rumped Warbler. Had appointments this morning, my return hike to Beech Hill with dog didn’t happen until late morning. Didn’t expect too many bird species; didn’t encounter too many. However, I encountered a lot of birds.
Mainly that’s because of the numbers of Yellow-rumped Warblers . (I settled on 30 individuals, but I believe that’s rather low.) Also had at least a dozen White-throated Sparrows —probably more like sixteen. And a goodly number of chickadees.
In just the five days were were on Monhegan, the color of the landscape has changed—much more yellowish, with reds in the fringes. It’s happening .
Beech Hill List Beginning at 11:14 a.m., I hiked all trails.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
