Hi all,
Gordon Brown and I birded around Lake Crabtree County Park (Wake Co., NC)
this morning for about 90 minutes before work. Best birds were a pair of
TENNESSEE WARBLERS and a pair of GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES. Both birds were
with good-sized migrant flocks - but most of the birds stayed up near the
canopy, and the light was so poor that many birds were simply
unidentifiable. Other migrants seen:
Northern Parula
American Redstart
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Pine Warbler
Cape May Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
Chimney Swifts were still feeding in huge flocks over the park, quite a
nifty spectacle.
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS have started to show up in numbers - we saw at least
6, which means there were likely at least 26 around.
Good birding,
-Sandy
