[obol] Fwd: Migrant flock east of Springfield

[Barbara Combs]

It looks like the spell checker tripped me up.  Of course, the
hummingbird was a RUFOUS.
I saw that choice in the list of corrections, and thought I had
rejected it.  Sorry if it confused anyone.

A flock consisting of 3 NASHVILLE WARBLERS, 1 TOWNSEND"S WARBLER, 6
BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS,
3 CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES, and a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH picked its
way through a maple tree while passing through an area about 5 miles
out Deerhorn Road this afternoon about 3:30 p.m.  The resident RUFF'S
HUMMINGBIRDS buzzed in and out of the flock as if they were part of
it, but remained behind, of course, when the flock moved on.
