FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] RPT:More good birding at Floyds Fork on 05/06

["michael autin" <napkinarmstrong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Goodness this has been the best season I've had in years!  I figured with 
the beautiful weather yesterday that all the birds would have passed on but 
maybe the wind patterns weren't right.  A trip to Floyds Fork Park, where I 
hadn't been in 9 years, proved a successful one.
05/05 4:00-7:20 pm
List:
Black Vulture
Yellow-bl. Cuckoo
Barred Owl- calling at about 6:30 in woods to the right of the entrance
Pileated Woodpecker
Great-cr. Flycatcher
Eastern Kingbird
Warbling Vireo
No. Parula- singing probably resident
Yellow Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Yellow-thr. Warbler- singing almost definitely a resident
Palm Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler- well over a  dozen. about 6 in one tree, numbers like the 
ones I used to see migrating when I was younger
Black-and-White Warbler
American Redstart
Louisiana Waterthrush-  I believe carrying nesting material
Common Yellowthroat
Yellow-br. Chat
Summer Tanager
White-thr. Sparrow- still around
both orioles
I wanted to spend more time looking for brush loving birds but seeing as I 
left the lights on and the car battery died I took it as an omen that I 
should just get a jump and leave before any other mishaps occured.  However, 
I had forgotten how extensive that habitat was.  I definitely want to go 
back and see what is there.  I can see why there was a Clay-colored Sparrow 
discovered there last fall.
Good Birding,
