I hiked the forest road south of the horse trailer parking lot on Beach Road this morning, for the first time since last fall. The forest road has been cleared of all the downed trees from Hurricane Isabel, and there seem to be more Towhees and Prairie Warblers than in previous years. Highlights were great looks at Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Hooded Warbler, and a rather ragged looking Pine Warbler feeding a youngster.
