Portland
Sumner Co.
Despite the oppressive heat, NTOS members enjoyed a fine morning of birding
at Valerie and Charlie Brust's property in Portland. Charlie had mown a
trail through fields, woods, and along a creek that provided us close
proximity
to many of the birds we sought. Highlights included the constant calls of
Bobwhites and the more beautiful tones of several Wood Thrushes. A Wild
Turkey
was seen as we neared their property, and a Great Blue Heron soared overhead.
The Red-headed Woodpeckers eluded us today, but we had great looks at
Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe,
Summer Tanager chasing a Grackle, and Indigo Bunting, to name just a few. We
had six species of warblers including a very close N. Parula, Yellow-throated,
Louisiana Waterthrush, Kentucky, Common Yellowthroat, and Yellow-breasted
Chat. A female Blue Grosbeak put in a brief appearance. After a cool lunch
inside, some of us stopped at a strawberry-picking field to take home some
famous Portland strawberries.
Thank you to Charlie and Valerie for allowing us to enjoy their wonderful
place.
