Buchanan Birders,
Michelle and I made another trip up Caney Island this morning and found
warblers at every turn in the road. About 200 yards up in the hollow we
spotted a pair of male Kentucky Warblers with one singing from the top of a
Sycamore tree. Redstarts and Hooded Warblers were everywhere. We also found
our first Worm-eating Warbler of 2007. I got to see my first Indigo Buntings,
Ceruleans, Ovenbirds, and Yellow-throated Vireos of 2007 also. The
White-throated Sparrows appear to be leaving the thickets along the road - we
only found one this morning. At least two Blue-winged Warblers were seen along
the way also.
Last night about dark I walked outside just in time to see an Osprey flying
up the river. I did my best to imitate their whistle-call and the raptor flew
two circles above my house before heading on up the river. All I could see was
the classic Osprey silhouette against the evening sky.
We now have three Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at our feeder and Michelle spotted
one of the small blackbirds out there this morning (Rusty or Brewer's). We're
hoping for a return visit so we can get an ID of that bird.
Here's a list of the migrants we spotted in Caney Island Branch:
American Redstart - (many!)
Cerulean Warbler - at least 4
Blacburnian Warbler
Kentucky Warbler
Hooded Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Northern Paurla
Yellow Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler
Blue-winged Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Ovenbird
Yellow-throated Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Blue-headed Vireo
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Scarlet Tanager
Indigo Bunting
