I had a fair number of woodland species singing. Late morning, hot…..nice
To hear! Thrasher, both tanagers - summer was new for the big year. YB Cuckoo.
Etc. That grass pasture or hay field a couple miles from the caesar creek observation
Tower area looks so good for grasshopper sparrow! Nuttin….the meadowlark show
There was nice! I even put Merlin on it….. here’s another voice duo to be careful
Of - Merlin was saying Nighthawk every time a meadowlark did its call notes!
Joy…..
I hit some other spots for Dickcissel. Still nothing! Striking out with odes still…..
Unless something rare to chase in Warren or Clinton, I am done heading up
That way til August. I will be traveling soon again. And I have stuff to catch up on
Here.
Hopefully migration is in full swing by August! Or at least post breeding
Wanderers. Warren - 149 for the big year. Clinton - 153.
Still missing lots of species!
More Merlin notes - it doesn’t always sense a Mockingbird…….
Good birding all!
