The end to a long and fruitful wet day. I was pleased with the results con=
sidering the weather on the route that I run. We ended up with 53 species,=
despite the wet and cold of the afternoon. It really cut into bird activi=
ty. =20
=20
Species of note:
=20
A white-crowned sparrow at my feeder early this morning at around 06:30.
=20
Two wood ducks
=20
Two Blue-winged Teal in Lilydale.
=20
Merlins at two locations.
=20
A rose-breasted grosbeak at Blockhouse
=20
A ruffed Grouse on Heckman's Island
=20
A barred owl surprisingly vocalizing in the wind and rain at Northwest.
=20
One winter wren heard
=20
Lots of blue-headed vireos
=20
Great looks at Black & White warbler, northern parula, and black-throated g=
reen warblers. Ovenbird heard but not seen. Also, the other two early mig=
rant warblers were prevelant, eg., Yellow-rumped warblers and palm warblers=
. After seeing most of our warblers early in the morning, the weather dete=
riated and birds became mostly unvocal during the rest of the day. Otherwi=
se, I know I would have found more warbler species. I normally get between=
8-13 species and I only hit six species for the warblers this time around.=
Most areas that usually produced warblers were quiet.
=20
I missed quite a few species that are normally found, likely due to the wea=
ther. Of note no hermit thrushes vocal at all or seen. I should have had =
greater yellowlegs, American black duck, green-winged teal, common snipe, w=
hite-breasted nuthatch, common merganser, hooded merganser, red-tailed hawk=
, bald eagle, more hawk species, ring-billed gull, downy woodpecker, barn s=
wallow, boreal chickadee, golden-crowned kinglet, brown creeper, northern c=
ardinal, far more warbler species, and a lot more swallows.
