Mid-week Migrants

Its been a long time since I was last at Nahanton, but after 2 month of staying home, it was time to see a little of what the park had to offer. At 6:30 am, it was quite chilly and it took a little while for the birds to warm up, but in the end I was able to identify quite a good number of birds. While out I ran into a couple of other birders and hear reports of a Blue-headed Vireo and a Veery. A full list is below:
