One Sora was heard whinnying and ker-wee-ing this morning at the Great Swamp N.W.R. 2 Blue-winged Warblers, Black-and-white Warblers, Prairie Warbler, Palm, Yellow-rumped and Yellow Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Warbling Vireo and Orchard Oriole were some of the species on and around Pleasant Plains Road.

Simon Lane and this writer saw an adult Red-headed Woodpecker (RHWO) from the Lord Stirling side of the Passaic River in the vicinity of the abandoned beaver dam. Technically, the RHWO was on the Morris County, Great Swamp side of the river.
Other species in the area included numerous Yellow-rumped Warblers, Black-and-white Warblers and expected seasonal species. Yesterday’s Prothonotary Warbler was not found but is likely in the area.
