Today, Nick Moore and I visited Tamarack Ranch The highlight was a singing and calling E Wood Pewee on the west side, about where a singing bird has been present for the last two years. Additionally, on the west side, closer to the road there was an odd pewee that looked like an Eastern but gave befuddling vocalizations. We had another calling and singing Eastern Wood Pewee on the east side almost at the work station. We had a Red-eyed Vireo and a male Indigo Bunting in the shelterbelts on the east side.
Of the 30 or so towhees encountered, we were able to ID about 7, 5 Spotted and 2 hybrids. We also heard about 6 buntings in addition to the Indigo. One was a hybrid, one was a Lazuli and the others were not visualized. Tamarack is a place to beware: hybrid towhees, Orioles, and buntings are not unusual at all- and maybe hybrid pewees now as well. We had a few YB Cuckoos, Field Sparrows, N Cardinals on the east side and 10 Bell's on the west. Also, 6 Great Crested Flys on the east. Lotsa RH and RB Woodpeckers.
