Despite the overcast and resulting terrible lighting in the forested areas,
it was nevertheless a successful morning of birding at Bernheim.

Thanks to all the good advice received from listserv members, the search
for Kentucky warblers proved almost comically easy. Heard the first one
within 30 seconds of stepping out of the car at the first Guerilla Hollow
parking area, and had a great visual within another minute or two - after a
single playback. Heard at least two birds, but there may have been more.

The other highlight was Henslow's sparrows in the southern half of the Big
Prairie area, which was also infested with Common Yellowthroats in every
bush, it seemed. Had one Henslow's in sight at the top of a sapling for
about a minute (it sang once), heard at least one other singing, as well as
a lot of chipping that seemed to be Henslow-like.

Also had a pair of Summer Tanagers, both orioles, many eastern Bluebirds,
and a bunch of unidentifiable, non-singing greyish bird undersides way up
in the trees in lousy light.

If only the sun had been out.....

Better birding,

Andrew Melnykovych
