Jean Alexander and I obseerved the bird happily feeding about 7:30am before the rain started. We also saw 4 Green-winged teal, mallards and GB Heron at the pond. Walking down the road to the pond we heard a screech owl and at least 2 Yellow-billed cuckoos calling in response to my screech owl call. On the larger pond at the road intersection were a number of drake Woodducks. I light rain at Louisville Park we did not find the Brown-headed nuthatches but had a good movement of warblers getting Pine, Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned, Palm, and Cape May. After the rain, we went to Kyker Bottoms and got 8 species of sparrows/Towhees (Song, Chipping, Swamp, Lincoln, White-throated and Field, Dark-eyed junco and E. Towhee), Indigo bunting, Kestrel, Sharp-shinned hawk that swooped into the brush after a sparrow, Pileated, Downy and Red-bellied Woodpecker, Golden-crowned kinglet, Magnolia warbler, C. Yellowthroat, and Ovenbird. For the morning we had 55 total species WITHOUT chickadees, Titmouse, Red-tailed or Red-shouldered hawks or any vultures.
