A great morning on Green Bay Road. I was rousted out of bed this morning by a
Black-Billed Cuckoo calling. I chased it for about a half hour (I did get
dressed first!) and finally caught a glimpse of it flying. Lots of other stuff
came in last night. Least and Great-crested flycatchers are here. Not many
warblers but I did have a Nashville, Chestnut-sided, many Redstarts, & a Common
Yellowthroat. I am looking at a chestnut-sided in our little fountain as I
write this. And wonder of wonders a Mourning Warbler just flew in!!!
Also an Indigo Bunting & a catbird.
Our killdeers are back and nesting about 40 feet from the house. They have
started incubating and hopefully will be out of here by the time the
grandchildren arrive the end of June.
Oddly, we still have a pair of Wood Ducks around. This is definitely not their
habitat but they have been around for several weeks. All the rest of the usual
birds are here. It is definitely a good birding morning on Washington Island.
