The wetlands north of CR74 at Woods Lake had two Great Egrets, a Snowy Egret,
and two Greater Yellowlegs.
Eaton Cemetery had a good assortment of birds feasting on emerging hackberry
psyllids including:
2 latish Townsend's Warblers
3 Ruby-crowned Kinglets
Several Yellow-rumped Warblers
3 Wilson's Warblers
1 Brewer's Sparrow
Several Chipping Sparrows
Several Dark-eyed Juncos
1 Orange-crowned Warbler
1 White-crowned Sparrow
1 latish Hammond's Flycatcher
[Birds that should have been present but were NOT include: Brown Creeper,
Red-breasted Nuthatch, Townsend's Solitaire and Nashville Warbler]
Also, at Eaton Cem, lots of Common Grackles, a few flyover Barn Swallows, and a
flyover American Pipit.
I found a roadkilled Common Poorwill on CR49 just north of the old place name
Purcell (jct Rd90/Rd49)
Still plenty of Sage Thrashers, Rock Wrens, Vesper Sparrows, Chestnut-collared
Longspurs, Brewer's Sparrows on county roads between Purcell and Norma's Grove
(e of jct 57/100).
Norma's Grovee (east of jct 57/100) was pretty quiet but had 3 Hermit Thrushes,
several juncos (all pink-sided), a Wilson's Warbler, 2 Orange-crowned Warblers,
a House Wren, several White-crowned Sparrows (all Gambel's), a Clay-colored
Sparrow, and I heard the tapping of, but could never see, what I suspect was a
sapsucker (very likely Red-naped).
Crom Lake is still pretty high. A few Redheads, Ring-necked Ducks, Ruddy
Ducks, Northern Shovelers, Mallards, and a Ferruginous Hawk overhead.
