We birded Mammoth Cave yesterday. It was a beautiful day and the woods were filled with bird song. The Cerulean Warbler had returned. We saw four and heard one or two more. We saw them at the Green Ferry and Houchens Ferry. At Houchens Ferry we had two Prothonotary Warblers. Other birds of interest were: Vireos -Blue-headed, White-eyed, Red-eyed, and Yellow-throated; Wood Thrush - heard his wonderful song, but had only fleeting glimpses of the bird; Scarlet Tanagers, both male and female, were seen at different places. A Hermit Thrush was still present on Joppa Ridge Road. Barred Owls were calling to each other. Eur. Collared Doves were present just outside of the park. Warblers - Hooded Yellow-rump Cerulean Prothonotary Black-and-white Ovenbird Yellow-throated Prairie Black-throated Green Parula Worm-eating La. Waterthrush Carol Besse joined us on the Anchorage Trail this morning. The Blue-winged Warbler and Yellowthroated were still there along with Parulas and Common Yellowthroat. Other birds were Catbirds, Kingbird, Ruby-c Kinglet, White-eyed Vireo, Orchard Oriole, a Cedar Waxwing and two Green Herons. An Osprey circled over the trail several times.
