The WILSON'S WARBLER continues at Odiorne Point State Park. Now tying
my personal record late date. Today it was seen in the cove south of
the playground area in the cedar trees. AKA "Chat Cove". Again, it was
elusive and only seen briefly. It was loosely hanging out with some
chickadees and a Yellow-rumped Warbler:

Not much else to report from the coast. We found a juvenile
White-crowned Sparrow along Route 1A in North Hampton and Jane counted a
nice morning flight of 198 MIGRATING American Goldfinches in 23 flocks.
All flying south along Route 1A.

An odd Dark-eyed Junco with two white wing bars was somewhat noteworthy
along Ancient Highway in Hampton, but I believe it is just an aberrant
eastern "Slate-colored" Junco:

On Great Bay, we had 3 male EURASIAN WIGEON at Sunset Farm in Greenland
with probably 100+ American Wigeon. An adult male and two distinctly
different first winter males. We had them in good lighting, but
unfortunately they flushed due to a hunter and we didn't have time to
search for more. Curiously we had ZERO scaup. Presumably they were
along the western side of the bay.
