In my quest for first-of-season birds I made a fourth trip to try and
find a Worm-eating Warbler in W. Danby. I was finally successful, but was more
excited to hear a Black-billed Cuckoo singing on Bald Hill Rd. It's just a
great sound !
A B-b Cuckoo was singing in Jetty Woods last night during the
volleyball tournament. One Common Nighthawk flew from the golf course, around
8:30 pm, NNE toward the Mall, maybe even stopping at Neimi Rd. to be one of the
three Ken watched.
I found Louisiana Waterthrush at Park Preserve and Mullholland
Wildflower Preserve. They are much easier to see and hear at Mullholland. Park
Preserve is steep and the river noise makes it harder I think.
Blacklpoll warblers are still at almost ever stop I make and many
places in the city. They are especially good "drive-by" birds. The high pitch
seems to cut through ambient noise very well. I like having them around.
