Well we did the walk this morning - being the hardcore birders we are up there at the Brown Family Environmental Center (BFEC). Actually had a break in the rain for the first half of the walk (we pretty much stuck to the bike trail that passes thru the property). So in that window we saw a few new arrivals. Common Yellow-throat - heard singing first and then we got a good look at the little bandit. Yellow Warbler - heard singing Yellow-throated Warbler - 4 heard and 2 seen. N. Parula - 1 heard briefly before the big downpoor. Warbling Vireo - 2 White-eyed Vireo - 1 heard Yellow-throated Vireo - 3 heard and seen B.g. Gnatcatchers - plenty House Wrens White-throated Sparrows - flocking pretty big now, fun to hear singing this time of year. (the chimney swifts were seen the day before) As I've said before the Wed. Morn. Walk at the BFEC is open to all and all levels of experience. Binoculars are lent to use for the walk if you don't have any. We'd love to have anybody young or old join us, just dress for the weather! I go out rain or shine or anything else, as long as its not too life threatening! We also enjoy the other flora and fauna we run accross too, there were good flowers out there, lots of Dutchman's Breeches, Bloodroot was blooming, Rue-anemonees, Hepatica, White Trilliums, etc. Good Birding! - Ben Warner ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
