Hi all:
=20
I did the Shelburne Breeding Bird Route on June 30. Dorothy Poole assisted=
me as the driver. Of note five species were added to the list for the are=
a. They were yellow-bellied sapsucker=2C pileated woodpecker=2C scarlet ta=
nager=2C red crossbill and olive-sided flycatcher.
=20
The scarlet tanager was both heard and seen. It was singing the morning so=
ng from the Sibleys download. We were not aware that this species had a so=
ng that it specifically sings in the morning=2C so this was a nice educatio=
n and a treat for the route. The co-ordinates for this bird were at stop 7=
off the Jordan Falls Road at 20T 315953 4849410 NAD83. =20
=20
The pileated woodpecker was also a learning curve as a noise was heard that=
I had not heard in all of my time in the woods and outdoors before. I was=
mystified until a pileated woodpecker came flying out. It was a noise tha=
t does not appear on any playbacks that I've heard before. =20
=20
At a strawberry field 56 cedar waxwings were also not expected. =20
=20
There were few yellow warblers then would be expected. Two only=2C so thos=
e numbers were way down from last year. There also were fewer palm warbler=
s and only one black-throated blue warbler this year. Hermit thrush were 3=
0 on the route=2C with about 40-45 seen overall=2C which is close to last y=
ears numbers. I believe cliff swallow was new for the route also. =20
=20
Total species seen on the route=2C over 50 stops at 3 minutes apiece was 60=
.
