Eight people joined me for a GREAT morning of birding. The sky was blue and it was not too warm. We stopped two places.
First, we stopped on Dodge Road (off Stevenson Road) where there is a nice stand of spruces. The only warbler we saw was a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. Then we heard and saw a BROWN THRASHER. We watched him for awhile. Also, we hear a CAROLINA WREN singing almost continuously. We then went to Park Preserve. I heard a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH as soon as we got there, but no one else did. Walking along the path, we soon heard a PRAIRIE WARBLER. Everyone was able to see it. Walking further, we heard and saw a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. My guess is there were at least 4 at the preserve). We heard a BEE buzz. We didn't see the BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, but most everyone heard it. We heard an EASTERN TOWEE sing a couple different songs and also heard a FIELD SPARROW calling. Further on the path, we started hearing OVENBIRDS. A RUFFED-GROUSE drummed, then we heard 3-4 or so BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS. Heading back to the entrance on a different path, everyone finally had good looks at a BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER. An OSPREY was spotted by one of the group. Thank you for everyone who joined me!
