Made a late morning trek through these woods today. Hoped that the sun
had warmed up butterflies &amp; flying insects by that time &amp; it
did.<br><br>
<u>Birds<br>
</u>Rose-breated Grosbeak - 1 singing near the entrance<br>
Y/R Warblers - scattered males singing<br>
Nashville Warbler - 1 singing (I have difficulty finding this species on
Migration Day Count!!).<br>
Blue-headed Vireo - 1 singing<br>
Except for the Yellow-rumps, most warblers/vireos sing only a few notes
this early so hearing one song at a distance is an i.d.
challenge!!.<br><br>
Would have expected Least Flycatcher, Ovenbird, Waterthrush, by now but
no.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
<u>Butterflies<br>
</u>1 Red Admiral<br>
5+ Mustard Whites (a few along the wooded path; others along the RR bed,
which to me, seems more their habitat.<br>
1 Juvenal's Duskywing<br>
(photos taken).<br><br>
<u>Flying Insects<br>
</u>Hover flies - specifically &quot;Eristalis transversa&quot;.<br>
Bee Flies - Greater Bee Fly - &quot;Bombylius major&quot; (Quite a
few)<br>
Tachinid Flies - a few (not identified).<br>
Queen Bee - Bombus impatiens<br>
Andrenid bees - unidentified as to species<br>
an interesting green-hued fly -have reasonable photos so will try to
i.d.<br><br>
1 Little Brown Bat near the large pond at Seven Estates. Usually see one
&amp; sometimes more each time I wander through this area.<br><br>
