I went to Denison Bio Reserve in the morning & the land lab in the afternoon. Given the gorgeous weather, it was impossible to stay inside.

The birding was relatively quiet. At Denison Bio reserve, a chat was perched up going through its repertoire which is always wonderful to watch and listen to. There were a couple of N Parulas singing which I haven’t heard for awhile. Other warblers were yellow, Com yellowthroats, Kentucky & Hooded. 

Heard a couple YB Cuckoos. 

FCs: GC, Peewee & Acadian 

Vireos: White-eyed, Red-eyed, Yellow-thr 

Wood Thrushes, E Bluebirds

Green Heron, Wood Ducks, Tree Swallow. Indigo Bunting. 

Granville Land Lab

Quiet given it was afternoon but watched an E Kingbird pursue then finally grab a dragonfly over the pond. The dragonfly was quickly devoured. 

Cedar Waxwings, more E Bluebirds & common yellowthroat. Barn Swallow and Northern Mockingbird. Killdeer. 

A couple days ago I had both Orioles there: an adult male chasing an imm male and an adult male Baltimore. Also had a Tree Swallow dive bomb me as the trail took me toi close to its nest box.
