Since Breeding Bird Survey has been cancelled for the year I’ve decided
to run a few unofficial BBS routes of my own just to stay in practice.
I haven’t actually done any routes yet, but with the help of Victor and
Jamin Beachy found 15 species of warblers on territory at Stoll Farm this
week including 12 species that have been here around the yard all week;
Worm-eating Warbler (only 1 audible from the yard, many others further up
the ridges)
Louisiana Waterthrush, (several pairs in the valleys here but very little
singing recently)
Blue-winged Warbler, (at least 2 pairs here)
Black-and-White Warbler, (mostly quiet and difficult to locate, heard only
once this week)
Kentucky Warbler, (3 or more pairs, always singing loudly)
Common Yellowthroat, (several pairs)
Hooded Warbler, (two males regularly singing)
American Redstart, (one bird singing here, most of these are out along the
creek)
CERULEAN WARBLER, (male singing here for the past week, good looks tonight)
Northern Parula, (numerous throughout)
Yellow-throated Warbler, (one singing male)
Prairie Warbler, (3-4 pairs)
The other 3 species are Pine Warblers that are abundant in the regrowth
Pines on the ridges above the house and Prothonotary and Yellow Warblers
that are nesting along Cane Creek a half mile down the road but none of
these have been seen in the yard recently.
