I walked a mile of the Recreation Parkway from 1-1:45. It was very quiet warbler wise - Yellow Warbler, Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat. Catbirds, Baltimore Orioles, a Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Song Sparrows, Red-eyed and Warbling Vireos, American and Fish Crows, a very loud Flicker along with a couple very vocal Red-bellied Woodpeckers in the same area (wonder what that was about?), and a very noisy Great-creasted Flycatcher livened up the walk. Also a flyover quacking Mallard passed by. The big surprise was hearing a GREAT HORNED OWL hooting. It called only once, but it was very clear. The call came from the direction SE of the walkway. Shortly after it sang, a couple Am Crows heading in that direction. Didn't know the Great Horned called during the day, but it was really cool! Good birding, Ann
