I was disappointed not to have made it to the walk on Saturday, especially
after seeing the resulting list. Antonio Xeira, having the lame excuse of being
on the Sheltowee Trace backpacking for five days had also missed out. With
Bobolink a lifer for both of us we made our way around the bypass as early as
we could begin. It was a beautiful morning, the heat held off with low lying
clouds and a breeze. Cuckoos surprised us early on as we walked down the wooden
fence lined with trees to the right side of the park. Warbling vireos chased
each other around and offered just the briefest looks. An unusual three note
call caused us a bit of distress as we failed to see it resonating from
anything but grass. That was until it buzzed down from the top of a Tree,
just like David Lang told us the Dickcissels were doing on Saturday.
Immediately after we literally turned around and there were the Bobolinks.
We watched them for a while and Antonio began to wonder if there was any
chance that they were planning to stick around and nest in the park. They
appeared to be singing and displaying as they would in their breeding range. Is
this normal as they migrate North or is it late enough in the year that they
might be planning to stay? Would they be safe from mowing?
Other highlights were three Blue Grosbeaks, another Cuckoo in the woods,
Kentucky Warblers doing an odd variation, a worm eating Summer Tanager, and
getting 52 species, two more than the group did on Saturday. Nothing wrong with
a bit of friendly competition right?

Combining the lists from Saturday and today we got a total of 64 species!
Antonio has a recording of a bird we couldn't ID if anyone is interested in
trying to add number 65.

Combining the two lists we got a total of 64 species! Still wondering where
that Towhee was hiding.
