An American Bittern took off from a ditch on the north side of Hwy. 212 just
east of Norwood-Young America this morning. I found 1 Buff-breasted
Sandpiper along Salem Ave, but there may have been more. Other shorebirds in
that area were Greater, Lesser Yellowlegs, Least, Bairds, Pectoral, and Stilt
Sandpiper. Warblers at Carver Park: 8 Tennessee, 6 Nashville, 2 Wilson's,
Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, and Canada. For those looking for
warbler at Carver Park, I normally cover several miles of trails/road each
visit. While there are some reliable areas, they can be found almost anywhere
in the park. Some of the reliable areas may have 1 or no migrants one day and
several the next. So far this year I have found migrants along trails
accessed from Lowry Nature Center, trails accessed from and along the dirt road
that leads to King Blind, and trails accessed from and along the dirt road that
leads to the rec area.
