Denison was v quiet this morning so I didn't spend much time there. Only a few warblers altho I did hear one KY calling from far off the path. Saw one Green Heron & an E Phoebe was near the field station. I then tried for the Blue Grosbeak on Swamp Rd but just like one time last year, they were mowing the shoulders. No sign of the grosbeak; only heard an Indigo Bunting. Saw a male kestrel & one Rough-winged Swallow plus a Killdeer. There were some distant shorebirds in a flooded field with 2 Great Blue Herons but distance & glare made any ID impossible. I headed for the Hebron Fish Hatchery for the Snowy Egret only to have to turn around d/t a wreck at the intersection at the turnoff from Walnut Rd. Decided not to go the long way around as my time was limited. Decided to stop briefly at Spring Valley as I've never really checked out this park close to where I live. A lot of road noise in the N section from Rt 37 but not too bad farther back. Some nice trails even if I had to ford the stream a few times but I had my tall rubber boots on so no biggie. Right off the bat I picked up Acadian FC & E Peewee, neither of which I've heard at Denison yet. Also a close YT Vireo. Not many warblers late morning but nice to hear a Hooded, another warbler I've not seen/heard at Denison this year & one that is also getting harder to find there. Will likely check it out again soon. Warblers at Denison (* also at Spring Valley)Yellow*Com YT*KYLa WTOvenbird*N Parula*Yellow-throated Spring Valley: Hooded Peggy WangGranville
