Louise and I birded Evergreen Nature Preserve and environs this morning and
had some real Audubon moments:
A flock! of Blue-headed Vireos (at least 8) at the opening behind
Winterfield School.
A dead and partially consumed Coopers Hawk in the opening beneath the willow
tree (killed by a Great Horned Owl??).
A very tame Ovenbird in the dense forest south of the opening, where we also
saw our first Hermit thrush.
A pair! of Swainson's Thrushes near the opening.
Our first Brown Creeper of the season in the pines near the basketball
court.
And finally, to top off a great morning, a very colorful Red-shouldered hawk
sitting in the front yard of the house fronting on Central Avenue at
Progress, apparently eating insects or worms.
