Lots of migrants at Claireville this morning - among the warblers, dozen= s of Yellow-rumped. many Palm, one or two each of Pine, Redstart, Black-thr= oated Blue, Black-and-White, and Nashville. Also a couple of Blue-headed Vi= reos, Brown Creepers, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Overhead, a pair of Gree= n Herons. An optimistic Cooper's Hawk flushed one of the resident Pileated = Woodpeckers. All of the above observed in the hardwood swamp behind the Hab= itat Enhancement Project dam.
One male E. Bluebird still hanging out near the nesting boxes halfway be= tween the gate and the dam, still being persecuted by Tree Swallows. On May= 2, there was a *pair* of Bluebirds here, but today I saw only the male. Claireville CA is on the south side of Highway 7, 2.7 km east of Airport= Road. Look for the Claireville Ranch signs.

I was away yesterday but several birders searched in my absence. I looked for an hour or so this morning with no luck. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&qE%C2%B030'2.11%22N+79%C2%B012'8.24% 22W&ie=UTF8&llE.500572,-79.202328&spn=0.041871,0.059824&t=h&z&iwloc�d r&om=1 DIRECTIONS >From Huntsville take Hwy 11 north about 10 minutes.
