This afternoon at around 4pm I walked around SSW along the Wilson trail.
The best sighting was a Black-throated Blue warbler silently foraging,
around the bend from the Sherwood Platform.
Some birds seen or heard:
Blk-thr Blue w 1
Blk-thr Green w 2
Magnolia w 2
Yellow w 1
Ovenbird 2
Com. Yellowthr 3
Rose-br. Grosbeak 2
Wood Thrush 1
Y-B Sapsuckers 3
Least flycatcher 1
Belted Kingfisher 1
I really wanted to see the Barred Owl, so I walked up and down near the
gate and the junction of the Wilson/Severinghaus trails for a while when
I started. After 5pm I went back there and just after I entered the
gate, I heard a very small commotion, like a person complaining
"harrumph!" and I saw a large silent raptor being chased by a black-bird
through the woods & across the road, very low about 10-15 feet off the
ground. I never found it again, but I am sure it was the B.Owl.
