Bluff Point - morning flight (I am am not an experienced bluff point observer so
what follows are my best estimates) - 900+ birds, 250-300 yellow-rumped warblers,
100+ juncos, 50+ phoebes, 6-8 blue headed vireos, 2 red eyed vireos, 1 common
yellowthroat, 2 BT blue warblers, 3-4 parulas, 3 blackpoll warblers, 6-8 ruby
crowned kinglets, 2 golden crowed kinglets, 1 creeper, 1 RB nut, 1 WB nut, 2
sapsuckers, 4 towhees, 25 + white-throated sparrows, 3 savannah sparrows, 2
chipping sparrows

it was a great day - most of the birds landed in the trees and gave excellent looks

Hammonasset State park - middle beach parking area - 6 pipits, swampy area near
entrance to Willard's island - 4 white-rumped sandpipers
