Things are picking up in Shindagin Hollow. A CANADA WARBLER is back on
territory along the narrow, steep stretch of road leading down to the
hollow, and the LOUISIANNA WATERTHRUSH is back at the intersection past the
pond at the bottom of the hollow, near the small gorge with the bridge for
the FLT. There were OVENBIRDS singing everywhere, and a good number of
other warblers were singing as well. Seeing them, though, was a challenge
at best, even with barely any leaves! I did manage to see a BLACKBURNIAN
and a MAGNOLIA around where the FLT crosses the road at the bottom and a
CHESTNUT-SIDED, along with another BLACKBURNIAN, at the Canada Warbler
spot. Also, there appears to be a BROAD-WINGED HAWK nest at the Canada
Warbler spot. Steve Fast mentioned nesting activity when I ran into him
there on Tuesday. That day I flushed a Broad-winged from there, and this
morning I heard one calling there. My checklist from this morning is below.
