Whately section of Northampton 4 J count highlights

[Mark Fairbrother]

Hot, mostly sunny day in the field.  I had 25 species with 291 individuals.  Best were 101 Baltimore, 1 Com. Buckeye and an end-of-the-day Delaware Skipper.

Other highlights included my best and longest look ever at an adult male Orchard Oriole (and eventually a family of 4), an immature Cliff Swallow, and 9 ticks (that number may rise).
