I made another trip to look for Worm-eating Warbler this morning above
Station Rd. While I had no luck finding one it was an active birdy morning to
be out with territories defended and insects consumed.
I was able to add a couple year birds in the woods and on Bald Hill
Road. As I got out of the car I heard a singing Black-billed Cuckoo. There were
many Hermit and Wood Thrush, Veery, Black-throated Blue and Green Warblers,
Northern Parula, Blackburnian, Nashville, and Canada Warblers. Ovenbird songs
were everywhere and I managed to get nice close views of one. The Blue-headed
Vireos have been joined by Red-eyed Vireos and Scarlet Tanagers. Yellow-bellied
Sapsuckers tried to hammer trees into submission with several going at once. I
again heard a Red-shouldered Hawk although I wasn't able to see it.
The brushy areas on Bald Hill had multiple Common Yellowthroat, Eastern
Towhee, Chestnut-sided and Blue-winged Warblers amongst the ever active Gray
Catbirds. I found one Hooded Warbler.
Even though I didn't see the Warbler I set out to find I had a much
greater experience overall.
Happy birding,
Gary
