May 2, 2004  KOS/Beckham Bird Club field trip report

Fourteen observers attended the field trip to Mammoth Cave National Park on 
Sunday. I must say the morning rain made birding at times very difficult but 
several warblers were observed near the lodge area. The dark clouds and rain 
also made the birds less vocal and very few migrant songs were heard. By 
mid-day the rain had stopped and the sun was shinning!

The highlights included:

21 species of warblers: Blue-winged,Tennessee, Nashville, Northern Parula, 
Chestnut-sided, Cape May, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, 
Yellow-throated, Pine, Prairie, Palm, Blackpoll, Ovenbird, Northern 
Waterthrush, La. Waterthrush, Kentucky, Common Yellowthroat, Hooded, and 
Yellow-breasted Chat.

Osprey (1) flyover, Summer and Scarlet Tanagers, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Thank you to all who attended the trip.
