Protocol: Traveling
12.0 mile(s)
Checklist Comments: SSBC/BBC trip, Glenn d’Entremont leader; 3 participants-light rain with heavier rain until 9:30; birded this differently by not walking any trails until rain stopped. Made it to the top still stopping 1/2 miles to Jone’s Nose; then just traveled with windows open for sound of which there was little. Rain stopped around 9:30 and birded the mountain going down. Saddleball we actually done about the same time of day we normally do it; the rest were much later. Did not get Mourning this day; did have about 20 minutes on Sunday (6/15) morning before having to leave to get to meeting spot; was able to hear Mourning Warbler only about mile/mile 1/4 up from Lanesborough visitors center. One surprise-adult male Northern Parula in the parking lot at summit; singing and seen, male Blackburnian came in and pushed it out-moved around a bit-really LATE migrant?
