For the oxbow inc bird a thon. I just got back from vacation Thursday, so
Am not up with what’s around…. I was planning on May for migrants in those
Two counties. Then learn the breeding bird locations in June. Mary C. and
I started at Spring Valley - Warren county. That’s a great migrant spot. The bike
Path and dike on the west side is super. Stuff is around! Nashville, blackpoll,
YR warblers. I think we had 30 minutes or so before the heavy rain hit. Black
And white warbler, prothonotary’s, common yellowthroat, yellow warblers,
Yellow throated warbler. Migrants are around. And probably not going anywhere
Until south winds kick in again! I switched gears and did some lake watching,
Farm field scanning, etc. lots of good flooded fields in Clinton, but just
Killdeer and spotted! I really thought the rain would slow down and even stop
For a bit. But no, in fact it got harder…. I went for one more bird for the bird a thon.
The collared dove in port William - Clinton county. It was also a May bird!
57 species for the morning. Very slow for us! Four new warren county birds,
Spotted sandpiper, bank swallow, black and white warbler, and Nashville. 15 new year
Birds for Warren! 113 now. And only one new year bird for Clinton. Gray catbird. 110
For the year for Clinton. I'll be up that way again Monday probably. Unless it’s
Going to rain all day again…….
I would like to get out one day for odes next week. We will see!
Good birding all.
