Folks,
Finally found some time (and gas money) to get up to Enoch's Branch near Grundy
and bird this afternoon. Didn't arrive until after 11 and could only stay until
3, so it's no surprise it wasn't a banner day, but it wasn't bad either. It was
just one of those very hot humid days when the birds were more into taking
"nooners" than singing and moving about. However, managed to see several
Blue-Winged Warblers, Hooded Warblers, Kentucky Warblers, Ovenbirds, one Black
and White Warbler, and one Black-Throated Green Warbler, Indigo Buntings, one
Northern Parula, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Red-Eyed Vireos, and one
Yellow-Throated Vireo. The highlight of the afternoon was a beautiful male
Prairie Warbler singing for all he was worth in the scrub brush near the
beginning of the trail at the far side of the ball fields. Other warblers that
I heard but didn't actually see included one possible Golden-Winged, one
Cerulean, and one Worm-Eating. Other interesting birds included a Pileated
Woodpecker that buzzed me, Scarlet Tanagers, and a Red-Shouldered Hawk. I
don't have my website set-up at the moment, so here's a few greatly reduced
photos. Enjoy the birds...

Saving the best for last... Prairie Warbler. Sure hope this desperate little
guy soon finds a mate...
As an added bonus here's a Red-Banded Hairstreak
