Bird activity was high yesterday at Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area in Trumbull
Co.  Some of the highlights included:

Yellow-breasted chat - One bird on the park headquarters street
Prothonotary warbler - many close and singing on Hoagland-Blackstub Rd.
Bobolink - at least 20 in the field behind the parking lot on HB Rd
Yellow-billed cuckoo - One very close bird that was chased off by a nesting
robin
American redstart - One on HB Rd

and also a healthy amount of orioles, indigo buntings, common yellowthroats,
yellow warblers, and willow flycatchers.  Conspicuous in their absence were
Yellow-throated vireos...or any vireos for that matter, and I struck out yet
again on the Ceruleans that are supposed nesters here along HB Rd.

The day before I had fantastic views of a Virginia rail and several Marsh
wrens at Yeagley-Firestone Marsh near Lake Guilford on Depot Rd.

Finally, I've had a Wilson's warbler hanging around my yard for the past 4
or 5 days here in Boardman (Mahoning Co).


cheers,

John G Petruzzi
