Sundry observations, Clarendon and Calhoun Counties



March 16
A pair (male and female) of BOAT-TAILED GRACKLES at Potato Creek Landing in 
Clarendon County.  Female holding apparent nesting material.  

March 17
Two COMMON GROUND-DOVES beside Hwy. 267 south of Lone Star, Calhoun County.

At two separate location in Calhoun County, White-eyed Vireos sounded 
amazingly like flycatchers.  The second one had me thinking it was a 
Great-crested Flycatcher until I saw it.  The first one gave a clear and 
consistent "whip three bears" call like an Olive-sided Flycatcher.  To be 
honest, I never saw this bird and am not positive it was a White-eyed Vireo, 
but I never found a bird sitting up on an exposed perch; it seemed to be 
hidden down in the undergrowth, and the vireo was the closest cadence I could 
match to the call I was hearing.  I am open to other considerations.
