This morning at the MHLC's Hollyhock Hollow Sanctuary, Chris and I enjoyed an extended walk along the trails listening and looking for birds. We noted 31 bird species. Highlights included two singing Louisiana Waterthrush (by water, of course), a Black-and-white Warbler, many singing Pine Warblers and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, three Hermit Thrush, two vocalizing Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, two Brown Creepers, a Belted Kingfisher, a Broad-winged Hawk whistling and flying low through the woods, and a Barred Owl calling (near the whistling hawk). There is a pasture that can be seen from the white trail and we were surprised to hear a Field Sparrow calling nearby.
Hope to see many of you at the HMBC Annual Meeting Thursday evening at Five Rivers EEC.
