Carolinabirders,
While working at Fort Jackson (Columbia, Richland County) this
AM, I encountered a group of spring migrants. Most of these birds
were feeding in Tulip Poplar trees and the whole group was moving
along the edge of a bottomland hardwood area. Rarely do I find
spring migrants in numbers like this. The numbers included were
probably the tip of the iceberg.
Highlights were;
1 Black-billed Cuckoo
11 Yellow-billed Cuckoo
42 Red-eyed Vireo
28 Gray Catbird
2 Blue-winged Warbler
20 Northern Parula (mostly males)
5 Yellow Warbler
26 Cape May Warbler
56 Black-throated Blue Warblers (about equal number males &
females)
8 Black-and-white Warbler
34 American Redstart
7 Bay-breasted Warbler
10 Blackpoll Warbler
19 Northern Waterthrush
14 Scarlet Tanager (all males)
30 Rose-breasted Grosbeak (2:1, males to females & most of the
males were singing)
21 Baltimore Oriole (only a few adult males)
Good Birding, lex
