For some reason cobirds does not like me today! Third time trying to post this... Crow Valley was filled with normal breeding birds and few migrants this AM. Best bird was an Eastern Wood-pewee, which was silent until I played a recording, at which point it vocalized in response, supporting the physical traits of very pale chest (almost no vest), pale all orange lower mandible, and two uniformly bright (almost white) wingbars. It also shows the slight cocked-tail pose typical of Eastern per ABA article ( http://www.aba.org/birding/v40n5p34.pdf). I uploaded a couple of photos at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aphelionart/ Other birds of interest include female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Northern Waterthrush, and a pair of wood ducks (maybe only notable because I have never seen them here). On the whole not many warblers there today. I cruised through WCR 59 ponds, loloff, lower latham, Stewart's, and Bebee Draw and although a good number of species I really didn't turn up anything truly noteworthy at any of those locations.
