This is a little late in posting. I went up to Banning State Park near Sandstone in Pine County for the first time this weekend. Perfect weather and a great park. What was really interesting was the amount of fledgling birds that were out.
Unknown thrush(this guy was really young and responded to my spish) Wood Thrush Ovenbird(fledgling) Eastern Phoebe(several fledgling and adults) Eastern Wood-Pewee(many fledgling and adults, one was practicing its pewee sound but couldn't get beyond the pe) Flycatcher(two young seen with adults, sorry I couldn't identify the adults) Winter Wren(1 heard) Black-throated Green Warbler(1 seen, 2 heard) Golden-winged Warbler(I believe I was within 5-10 feet of a nest. The pair was quite agitated when I got near, and I thought I heard what sounded like recently hatched birds) American Redstart Common Yellowthroat Another one for amphibian lovers, I stumbled on the yellow morph Wood Frog.
