Yellow-breasted Chat was another excellent score by the Piping Hot Plovers this morning. Temps are heating up and so is the pressure to find new species! Currently sitting just under 100 birds!

Piping Hot Plovers have started strong with Least Bittern before dawn, but we may have just scored our best bird of the day with a Connecticut Warbler!!!

Found a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker nest while shouting for other targets! This blitz doubles as a way to also get birds recorded for the PA Breeding Bird Atlas.

A gorgeous sunset gave way to the night critters, including frogs and fireflies- and the last two species of the night, bringing the Piping Hot Plovers to a whopping 130 species!

While the Common Ravens failed us for the first time this year, not wishing to be perceived, we are still sitting at a healthy 128 species. Will the Piping Hot Plovers make 130?! #blitz4birds #birds

In a hidden fen, we blew past our official record of 122 and are currently at 125! Now running against the sun for several species at the furthest end of our county before heading back to clean up some night birds! #blitz4birds #birds
