Walking to work today via 6-mile-creek/Mulholland, I found a great horned owl, my first ever unassisted owl sighting in the east (OK, assisted by a pair of crows). Other highlights of the walk were a pair of pileated woodpeckers, my FOY pe-o-weeeeeee, a scarlet tanager singing and chick-breeing from the high foliage (no visuals, of course), my FOY wood thrushes ringing in the woods, the local louisiana waterthrushes fighting over territory, and a magnolia warbler foraging near the Commonland entrance to the upper dam. Every tree seemed to hold either a red-eyed vireo or a baltimore oriole. One held an american redstart. The canada geese and their 6 fair-sized goslings came by from their island roost to chase off a pair of interlopers.
