This morning we had our second Early Morning Discovery Hike at Shawnee Prairie Preserve located just outside of Greenville. We had 11 people total on the hike, and had some good bird activity. Several Flickers, blue jays, other "usuals"...but the best was a Sedge Wren!! This little guy was only about 30 feet from the boardwalk, and was singing his heart out. Not only that, but he was in good view most of the time! We also had a Blackburnian Warbler that was doing a decent job of showing himself just long enough for us to focus and then dart behind some more branches! Below you will find the list of all that we spotted this morning.
