Hi all,
It was a quiet weekend at Shawnee. The rain held off pretty well until late Saturday afternoon. I had no rain on Sunday. Bird activity was slow all weekend. The whip-poor-wills and woodcocks put on quite a show Friday night on Forest Rd. 14. Scarlet Tanagers were present and singing along with good numbers of Louisiana Waterthrush and White-eyed Vireo. Warblers were in low numbers except for Blue-Wing, Ovenbird, Cerulean, and Prairie. Saturday night brought in a wave of Hooded, Yellow, and Common Yellowthroat warblers. This is the first time I didn't see or hear any Kentucky, YB Charts, and had only one Worm-eating. Even hummingbirds were scarce. Total species: 58--lowest ever. . .
Shawnee is beautiful and is one of my favorite migration hotspots because one can observe the birds singing for (sometimes) long periods with few people interruptions.
