Today Bob Tyler and I birded Ward’s and Algonquin Islands again and though we
could only access about 35% of Ward’s because of flooding and were not able to
birds the better parts of Algonquin we did okay but migration is winding down
now but following are some of the birds we did find.
A few Long-tailed Ducks are still hanging in, Turkey Vultures, Cooper’s Hawk,
Ruby-Cr Hummingbirds, E. Wood-Pewees, Yellow-bellied, Least, and Great -crested
Flycatchers, E. Kingbirds, Rough-winged Swallows, Red-breasted and
White-breasted Nuthatches, House Wrens, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Gray-cheeked
and Swainson’s Thrushes, many Gray Catbirds, 40+ Cedar Waxwings, lots of
Red-eyed Vireos, 29 Warbling Vireos (undercounted), 21 Tennessee Warblers,
Nashville, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Black-th Blue, Black-th Green,
Blackburnian, Bay-breasted and Blackpoll Warblers, Northern Parulas, Wilson’s
