As I was sitting on my front steps this morning enjoying the early morning
bird chorus, I heard a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER singing in the brushy shrubby
woods about 50 yards from my house! This is a new species for me, so
naturally I grabbed my binocs and went looking for it. And there it was, a
gorgeous male sitting in a scraggly privet bush! (I guess they are good for
something after all.) I was thrilled. Also seen/heard in the space of
about a hour:
Lousiana waterthrush
hooded warbler
yellow-throated warbler
black-throated green warbler
Northern parula
ovenbird
great crested flycatcher
American goldfinch
field sparrow
American crow
blue jay
blue-gray gnatcatcher
American robin
Carolina chickadee
tufted titmouse
Northern cardinal
brown-headed cowbird
pileated woodpecker
Northern flicker
barred owl
red-shouldered hawk
I love it when the warblers come back!
