I went out to Block 59C6SE, again today, after first service at church. I
birded about 3 hours, and netted 53 species, including 9 warblers, most on
them on Hillcrest Road.
Great blue heron - at bridge on Snyder Rd.
Turkey vulture
Red-tailed hawk
Wild turkey - the closest I have ever been to one in the wild - just feet
away
Killdeer
Mourning dove
Red-bellied woodpecker
Downy woodpecker
Northern flicker
Pileated woodpecker
Eastern phoebe
Great crested flycatcher
Tree swallow
Barn swallow
House wren
Gray catbird - lots of these, very vocal, made ID by ear problematic!
Brown thrasher
Eastern bluebird
Wood thrush
American robin
Blue-gray gnatcatcher - caught nest-building!
Carolina chickadee
Tufted titmouse
White-breasted nuthatch
Blue jay
American crow
European starling
House sparrow
White-eyed vireo
Yellow-throated vireo
Warbling vireo
Red-eyed vireo
American goldfinch
Yellow warbler
Yellow-rumped warbler
Black-throated green warbler
Palm warbler
Black-and-white warbler
Ovenbird
Louisiana waterthrush
Common yellowthroat
Hooded warbler
Eastern towhee
Chipping sparrow
Field sparrow
Song sparrow
Northern cardinal
Rose-breasted grosbeak - pair
Red-winged blackbird
Eastern meadowlark - on Martinsburg Rd.
Common grackle
Brown-headed cowbird
Baltimore oriole - in someone's yard, near feeders!
The warbler du jour had to be the black-and-white. I saw more today than I
have ever seen in an entire season, let alone a single day. Great looks
again at a great crested flycatcher, and at a wonderfully cooperative hooded
warbler, just about five feet from my head. Thought I heard scarlet
tanager, but couldn't spot it. Saw doe with fawn again today, and
miscellaneous forest quadrupeds. What a great day to be alive!
