Howdy All!
This morning the area of the lake trail near the beaver pond was very busy. The
warblers are starting to arrive. In this area there were two singing Swainson's
Warblers. They were in the tall river cane, so vocals were as good as it got.
Also my FOS Nashville Warbler in that area too. Calling in that same area were
Chuck-will's-widows. They were doing that weird barking call. FOS Red-eyed
Vireos at the Beaver Pond and the park HQ. And Summer Tanager showed up in our
maintenance area.
I am looking forward to what the next weather system might bring. If you are
too, then come on out and join us this Saturday, April 11th at 8:15am at the
park headquarters building and we'll go do some birding for a couple of hours.
