There was a Kentucky Warbler in Doodletown this morning. I found the bird a hundred yards or so up Pleasant Valley Rd. from its start at the T intersection with Doodletown Rd. I heard it singing as soon as I made the left turn onto Pleasant Valley Rd. and saw it on both sides of the road. Around noon, I heard it singing fairly deep into the brush on the east side of the road.
Other highlights included three Pileated Woodpeckers at Herbert Cemetery. I was within a hundred feet of the three and had prolonged, unobstructed looks. They seemed oblivious to my presence. There was a male and female and, I believe, a juvenile. There was also at one and perhaps two Worm-eating Warblers on Lemon Rd. up the hill from the reservoir. I have had them many times further up on Pleasant Valley Rd., but not in that area. If you are unfamiliar with the place names that I've mentioned there are now maps at various locations in Doodletown showing the locations of different roads, house foundations, etc. With the regular Doodletown breeders as well, I had a great morning of birding.
