Hi all, Sapsucker Woods was hopping with birds this morning. I led 4 enthusiastic birders on the 'local' Spring Field Ornithology walk between 7 am and 10:30 (while the rest of the course went to Arnot). We originally were going to walk the Wilson trail really quickly and then head to Shindagin Hollow, but things were so good that we lingered at Sapsucker. Then we thought we'd have time to go instead to the FLLT's Goetchuis Preserve, but we lingered still as more and more birds popped up! Finally, with 2 of the group having to move on at 10:30, the remaining two students and I made a quick trip to Monkey Run North where we picked up Redbreasted Nuthatch, White crowned Sparrow and Field Sparrow Below is the ebird list I submitted for Sapsucker.
At Hunt Hill Rd. this morning, on our property, we added Black and White Warbler, Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Philadelphia Vireo. Also seen and heard were Cape May Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Redstart, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Ovenbird, Scarlet Tanager, Great Crested Flycatcher and Baltimore Oriole. There is actually an Oriole nest being built in a white pine right off of our deck. Great views of the female weaving.
