Scarlet Tanager (first of year). Swamp Sparrow (first of year). Cool but not too windy. Partly overcast, hazy sun. Got to the hill a bit late, at 8, but still had a heck of a bird list. Notable were a number of first-of-year species—including a surprise pair of (silent) male Scarlet Tanagers.
Also a nice surprise was a Swamp Sparrow. First booming grouse. First Alder Flycatcher. And got a sweet photo of a singing Ovenbird.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
Ovenbird. Beech Hill List Beginning at 8 a.m., I hiked all trails.

Scarlet Tanager.
Northern Parula.
A sunny, birdy morning. Among highlights: Broad-winged Hawks chasing a Northern Harrier, crows chasing a Northern Harrier, crows chasing a raven, crows chasing a Bald Eagle—and a first-of-year Scarlet Tanager.
