Many birds and birders were out in Sapsucker Woods on Sunday morning. Birds
were numerous and diverse, but weren't always easy to detect. Everyone
seems to be finding a different mix this morning.
Here are some highlights, shared mostly with Sydney Penner.
* WINTER WREN (singing deep in woods east of Woodleton Boardwalk --
incessant at 6:40 but hard to hear because of distance and loud nearby
waterthrush song; wren heard much closer from here yesterday)
* BROWN THRASHER (one by Rte. 13, one by visitor parking lot)
* WOOD THRUSH, VEERY (heard calling once), and HERMIT THRUSH (heard calling
once; Sydney saw it)
* EASTERN BLUEBIRD (nest box on knoll by second staff parking lot)
* ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK
* BALTIMORE ORIOLE
* RUSTY BLACKBIRD (2+ singing, mostly from south edge of main pond)
* BOBOLINK (flying over, singing full song)
* GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER (several throughout), LEAST FLYCATCHER, and
EASTERN KINGBIRD
* NASHVILLE WARBLER, MAGNOLIA WARBLER (heard singing a couple of times; not
seen), BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER,
BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH (two on
territory by Woodleton; one probable passage migrant by Wilson Trail lone
bench), and OVENBIRD
* WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW (two in feeder garden)
* PILEATED WOODPECKER on the ground (I love how male Pileated Woodpeckers
become obsessively focused on foraging, and therefore much less wary, in
May).
My full eBird list is below. In addition, I heard second-hand reports of
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, and others.
