This evening I followed Steve Westin's directions to look for the Kentucky warbler he saw yesterday. I didn't find it, but found a male Summer tanager in the same area.
Directions: Follow Steve's directions to where he saw the Kentucky warbler. Continue a short ways down the trail into the woods. When the trail turns right go half way up the hill. The bird was in the trees just off the left of the trail. After getting a good look at the bird for a minute it flew to a tree in a clearing at the top of the hill. It disappear shortly after that when I wasn't looking. I continued birding in the area, but didn't find the Summer tanager again. In addition to the Summer tanager I saw a Great-crested flycatcher, Eastern towhees, Catbird, Magnolia warbler, Chestnut-sided warbler, Golden-winged warbler, Wilson's warbler, and a Tennesse warbler in the same area. Spring Lake Park was good this morning with a variety of warblers: Tennessee, Nashville, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, Palm, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, American Redstart. Also found Blue-headed, Yellow-throated, and Red-eyed vireos, several Indigo Buntings, and Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks. Dave Elwood [email protected]
