Chris Baker and I spent 5 hours at Clear Creek on Friday. There wasn't a great number of birds other than white throated sparrows and towhees and swallowtail butterflies everywhere. The highlights of the day were, Warblers; Northern Parula American redstart Yellow throated Common yellowthroat Ovenbird Blue winged Yellow Louisiana waterthrush Black & white Black throated green Yellow rumped Hermit thrush A pair of singing Winter wrens(awesome!) Phoebe Yellow bellied sapsucker A great view of a Pileated woodpecker Great day with 40 species of birds. Happy Birding!
