A brief lunchtime stroll on the Wilson Trail North produced many of the birds that Mark reported this morning including:
-Yellow-throated Vireo (heard only, but singing from the same location that Mark mentioned this morning - near the intersection of the Wilson and West trails) -Chestnut-sided Warbler (1 female) -Canada Warbler (silent at 2nd footbridge) -Palm Warbler -Northern Parula -Black-throated Blue Warbler -Wilson's Warbler (Sherwood Platform) Along with many of the expected SSW breeders: -Great-crested Flycatcher -Warbling Vireo -Wood Thrush -Ovenbird -Common Yellowthroat -American Redstart -Baltimore Oriole -Rose-breasted Grosbeak (a pair that followed me for nearly the entire length of my walk, with the male offering soft snippets of his song as he fed alongside the female) Additionally, a brief stop at Myers yesterday evening with Susan Newman produced out target birds (Orchard Oriole). After some effort, we located an immature male paired up with a female in the spruce just over the railroad tracks, but before the entrance to the park proper. The pair was occasionally chased around by a few boisterous male Baltimore Orioles. Also present near the entrance to Myers were Northern Parula (2) and Nashville Warbler (1).
