Wally reported several warblers this past week including
Tennessee Warbler,
Common Yellowthroat,
American Redstart,
Bay-breasted Warbler and
Yellow-rumped Warbler. Although, his
comment on finding "a large influx of
Yellow-rumped Warblers on
Friday", usually indicates a waning warbler migration. Still no
shorebirds were found, not a surprise due to the lack of habitat.
Other birds of note were:
Wood Duck,
Blue-winged Teal,
Pied-billed Grebe,
Ruby-throated Hummingbird,
Sora (his highlight bird), Double Crested Cormorant,
Great Blue Heron,
Great Egret,
Green Heron,
Turkey Vulture,
Northern Harrier (was patrolling Eola NE),
Sharp-shinned Hawk (spotted chasing a songbird into a brush),
Cooper's Hawk,
Great Horned Owl,
Belted Kingfisher,
American Kestrel,
Eastern Phoebe,
Eastern Bluebird,
Swainson's Thrush,
Cedar Waxwing and
Eastern Meadowlark. Dave
