Great fallout today in the Shawnee forest. Birded for just four hours with my ornithology class and had many species of warblers, vireos, etc. Warblers Yellow - many Cap May - only 1 Black-throated blue - 5 Black-throated Green - 2 Cerulean - 4 Yellow-rumped - abundant Pine - 6 Prairie - many Yellow-throated - abundant Tennessee - 3 Connecticut - 2 Blue-winged - many Northern Parula - 10 Black-and-White - 1 American Redstart - abundant Common Yellothraot -6 Louisiana Waterthrush - 2 Ovenbird - many Hooded - many Yellow-breasted Chat - 1 Vireo White-eyed - 12 Blue-headed - 6 Red-eyed - 12 Philadelphia - 8 Yellow-throated - 1 Other relatively new arrivals: Wood Thrush - many Hermit Thrush - 1 Veery - 1 Brown-headed Cowbirds - many Yellow-billed Cuckoo - 1 Great Egret - 4 (been here a bit more than a week) Undetermined Empidonax Flycatcher - 1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 1 Golden-crowned Kinglet - several (been here for at least 10 days) Abundance of Blue-grey Gnatcatchers (also here for about 10 days) Eastern Meadowlark - many Chimney Swifts - 30 to 40 Indigo Bunting - 9 Eastern Kingbird - 25 (been around since last Friday) Barn Swallows - 50 Add the usual residents and those that arrived two or more weeks ago, and we had an amazing day for birds. If you head this way, parts of Forest Routes 2, 3, and 5 are closed for prescribed burns, at least they were planning them, but as the wind picked up around 11 AM today, I doubt they were accomplished, but be advised.
