Howdy All!
 
Apologies for long time no posting.  However, migration has been rocking here 
at Tyler SP.  Back on Tuesday we had a great day foe warblers and vireos.  I 
picked up my first Bell's Vireo for the park list and also several Wilson's 
Warbler, also new for the list.  
 
The park store area is ripe with breeding flycatchers, martins, barn swallows 
and a pair of yellow warblers.  Magnolia Warblers and redstarts have been here 
the past few days in large numbers.  Other warblers have been Black-throated 
Green, N. Parula, N. Waterthrush, Bay-breasted, and Chestnut-sided.  That's 
just a few of them.  Vireos are here too with Warbling, Philidaelphia, 
Yellow-throated, and Bell's.  I just got a report from my brother that a huge 
number of Bell's was at the dam this morning.  
 
Other birds of note are a Blue Grosbeak juvenile has been singing the past 
several days at the Blackjack Nature trail.  He has a blue head but the rest 
him is that dull brown.  
 
Oooh... I almost forgot about the Black-billed Cuckoo that we had near the 
Hickory Hollow camping loop.  Had great looks when it would be still enough to 
look at it.  
 
I am going to try to get out and see what is moving in the morning, Friday May, 
18 to scout out for Saturdays program.  If any one would like to tag along you 
are more than welcome. I am going to start at 8:30am and go for about two 
hours.  If you cannot make it for Friday, then come to the 8am program on 
Saturday and bird with us.
