Swarthy Skipper, C. Sootywing, Bobolinks, Bank Swallow, Saltmarsh SP, Red Fox,

At Stratford Point, at least two dozen Swarthy Skippers in the week of 10-17 August 2017.  Also present at Stratford Pt, many C Sootywings; also common to see swallows, including Banks, on wires; the fox probably the young of a couple denning there.  At Milford Point the Saltmarsh Sparrows are increasing in number--all juveniles so far.  Migrating Bobolinks stop at Silver Sands, apparently feeding on Marsh Elder.
