At Mitchell Creek Preserve in Donley County on Sunday, 18-MAY 2014,
migrating birds continued to move through the Panhandle. I saw
Yellow-rumped, Yellow and Wilson's Warblers along with flocks of Chipping
Sparrows and Clay-colored Sparrows and a Gray Catbird. All the usual
breeding birds were present save Common Nighthawk and Chuck-wills Widow.
Red-headed Woodpeckers (15) seemed to be everywhere. I heard Eastern Screech
Owls at two spots---they survived the fire in 2006 but have yet to fully
recover in numbers. Total species for the morning: 33.
