Lots of activity at SVWA this morning, all seen from a 100-foot section of the bike path, near the area where Prothonotary Warblers are usually found:
Baltimore Orioles at 2 different nests
Orchard Orioles fledging, at least one still in the nest
Orchard Orioles mating
Pewee on nest
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers on nest and defending it from House Wren
Red-headed and Red-bellied Woodpeckers at nests
Cedar Waxwing on nest
Gnatcatchers feeding not one, but two fledgling Brown-headed Cowbirds
Green Heron feeding and calling, very close to bike path
N. Flickers - lots of activity - possible nest, but I didn't see them enter the cavity
Female Wood Duck with 10+ young
House Wren tending nest
Other birds seen, but not so active:
Belted Kingfishers
Indigo Bunting
Prothonotary Warbler, still singing
Yellow-throated Vireo
Warbling Vireo
Common Yellowthroat
Great-crested Flycatcher
Great Blue Heron
Carolina Wren
All the regulars - Chickadee, Cardinal, etc.
Heard but not seen:
Wood Thrush
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
I did not see any of the Pileated Woodpeckers today.
I was also able to find a Bobolink on Engle Mill Road, about a mile south of Spring Valley-Paintersville Road (as reported a few days ago).
