Greetings All:
Ross (Clayton) Rickett called in the afternoon to report a Northern Parula and
Lazuli Bunting in the woodlands along the river below Lake Six. I chewed my
liver at work until I could escape and headed on over. I worked the area below
the spillway for almost two hours, dipped on both the parula and the bunting
but did pick up a few highlights which more than made up for the dips
(evidently the secret was to find a large group of Yellow-rumped Warblers but
this group must have moved downstream by the time I arrived).
Amongst the thirty-eight species tallied: 1 Green Heron, 1 Eastern Phoebe, 2
Ash-throated Flycatchers, 1 Western Kingbird, 1 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, 1
Hermit Thrush, 1 Orange-crowned Warbler, 1 male Common Yellowthroat, 1 first
spring male American Redstart, 1 Wilson's Warbler, 1 male Orchard Oriole, 1
male Bullock's Oriole, and 2 Lesser Goldfinches.
Also: 1 fresh-looking Olympia Marble and my first Plain-bellied Water Snake for
the year.
