Birders, The Wood Thrush I reported yesterday at Van's Grove was still there late this afternoon, as were the two Black-and-white Warblers.
At Hasty Campground I saw and heard a male Northern Parula, as well as a singing male Tennessee Warbler. Despite rain yesterday afternoon and overnight, and a front that should have deposited more birds, bird numbers in the campground were way down. At Tempel Grove, I ran into two other birders, and we saw an Ovenbird below the Melody Tempel bench. Like Hasty Campground, bird activity was low. My prize of the day was a female Hooded Warbler. It was in Clayton Grove, the only woodlot on the two-track connecting the east and west ends of the north side of John Martin Reservoir, best approached from Road JJ just east of Road 20. This woodlot has a few small cottonwoods, too many invasive salt cedar trees, and more down trees than standing ones. For this reason, I don't think the chances of re-finding this bird are very good. It was loosely associating with a female Wilson's Warbler.
