[birdky] Re: Wood Thrush thing

01 July 2008:

 

I have read with interest the recent reports regarding Wood Thrush
numbers this summer/spring.  I have no opinion on their numbers relative
to past years.  However, I did drive to Briggs lake this AM to listen
and take a break.  I heard 3 Wood Thrushes while there.  Also heard
were:

 

*         Pileated Woodpecker

*         Acadian Flycatcher

*         Eastern Peewee

*         Eastern Phoebe

*         Red-eyed Vireo

*         Yellow-throated Vireo

*         Eastern Towhee

*         American Goldfinch.

That concludes this (sort-of) report.

Today at open pond in Fulton County the following were present.

Blue-winged Teal - 2

Great Blue Heron

Great Egret

Killdeer - many

Black-necked Stilt - 5 (I still have not seen any young but their
behavior continues to indicate nesting.)

Least Sandpiper - 2

White-rumped Sandpiper - 1 ph

Short-billed Dowitcher - 1 ph

Least Tern - they also continue to show nesting behavior.  It is
unfortunate that the ponds are drying quickly now.  I imagine a tractor
will be plowing it soon.

Bank Swallow - many with young

Cliff Swallow

Barn Swallow

 

birds of note at other locations:

American White Pelican

Bald Eagle - 2

Loggerhead Shrike - 1

Field Sparrow

Dickcissel - many singing
