FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] BKY: Fishing Creek & Clifty Creek

[<roseanna@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spent most of the day paddling Clifty & Fishing Creeks. The lake level
is at 719, which means there isn't any shorebird habitat. I flushed a
Yellow-billed Cuckoo off a nest, which had at least one young and an egg
visible. The nest was in a willow in the water approx. 4' above water
level. I enjoyed watching the "fly up the creeks" (Green Herons), as I
approached; they preferred running for cover over flying up the creek.

Also usuals including:
White-eyed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Yellow-throated Warbler
Northern Parula
Black-and-White Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Prothonotary Warbler 37 (in groups of 5-8)
Yellow Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Summer & Scarlet Tanagers
