Last Wednesday A.M., August 5th I spent a few hrs. birding along the railroad tracks below the bluffs of Eagle Point Park in Clinton and parallel to Pool 13.
American Redstarts, Prothonotary Warblers, and Indigo Buntings were abundant. Other sightings included: Immature Yellow Warbler Eastern Wood-Pewees Yellow-throated Vireos Red-eyed Vireos Bluejays Cardinals American Goldfinch Song Sparrows Turkey Vultures American White Pelicans White-breasted Nuthatches Belted Kingfisher I also may have seen a Bell's Vireo and/or a Warbling Vireo, but could not get close enough for a positive ID. The same holds true for other flycatchers besides the Pee-Wees.
