On Saturday, May 3, we had 13 participants in 6.5 parties finding 140
species in Cumberland County. It was very iffy in the morning with high
winds and distant lightning before dawn, followed by a couple of hours of
heavy rain at dawn. However, it seemed like the rain kept the birds active
all day for a really good count. Barbara Stedman had a really good day in
the northern part of the county around Catoosa WMA, with a Philadelphia
Vireo, 2 Eurasian Collared Doves (one on Estate Lake Road and one at
Catoosa), a Swainson's Warbler (just upstream from Adams Bridge on Genesis
Road), and 2 Henslow's Sparrow (Field 67 on Potter's Ford Road in Catoosa).
Joseph Mast's party had 10 Henslow's Sparrows at the Mayland area fields
where he found them a couple of years ago. Stephen Stedman had 7 Cerulean
Warblers on Hinch Road near the intersection with the road to the top of
Hinch Mt. We missed Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (one seen at a feeder on May 4
& 5), Red-breasted Nuthatch (I saw one on Hinch Rd. today [May 6] along with
10 Cerulean Warblers), and Lesser Scaup (there was a male on Lake Tansi
today, flushed by a speedboat).
