Ed and I had a thrill, and a life bird, this morning when we saw a
Whip-poor-will on a hike at Caney Island Branch, a hollow near our home. The
bird flew directly in front of my face, gave a single-noted call, and then flew
down the hill and disappeared into some brush. I identified the bird as a
Whip-poor-will, and a quick check of the Sibley confirmed my call.
We also found six species of warblers this morning. A Worm-eating Warbler and
an Ovenbird were FOS birds for us this spring, and we also saw and/or heard
three Black-and-whites, two Black-throated Greens, a Yellow-throated, and a
Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Other species included the following birds:
Tufted Titmouse
Carolina Chickadee
American Goldfinch
Eastern Bluebird
Song Sparrow
Rock Pigeon
American Robin
Brown Thrasher - 3
Northern Flicker
Northern Cardinal
Carolina Wren
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 2
Eastern Phoebe
Eastern Towhee
Blue Jay
Raven
Golden-crowned Kinglet
American Crow
Wild Turkey - 2
Downy Woodpecker
