Birding with Ross and the BC Reservoir

Took Ross out birding.  Much better luck than our Mt. Auburn trip a year or so ago. 

We started out with a Scarlet Tanager

and finished off with two male American Redstarts.

and one female American Redstart

The female looks like a bit like the Northern Parula and I didn't get the ID right at the time.  I knew it wasn't a Parula once I heard it sing, but I wasn't sure what it was.   Now I know.

Here is the Northern Parula, which we also saw yesterday.

Great views of these birds, along with uncountable Yellow Rumps.
