Three young birders and this old one spent Thursday morning at Mohican State Park. Total of 16 warbler species, best being 3 Magnolias. 20 warblers would have been possible if we would have chased the rest down nearby, but the vote was to head to Logan. We also found several Golden-crowned Kinglets some distance away from the probably nesting trees.

  Three hours late, a Mississippi Kite soared over the golf course for us around after a 90 minute wait, including a short period of rain. While waiting for the kite, I heard a Summer Tanager calling close-by. It was a female and spent 5 minutes or so in the pines between fairways, right in front of us - at the end of the split rail fence along the edge of the golf course. A Broad-winged Hawk came close overhead, carrying what looked like a mouse.

  At home this morning there were two young fledgling Rose-breasted Grosbeaks on our hanging platform feeder, being fed by both adult birds. The youngsters just sat there waiting while the parents cracked sunflower seeds for them. Nice..
