I was able to get out and do a little birding on the Parkway this morning. It
was lovely up there - cool with a breeze and the birds were active. I
saw/heard Scarlet Tanagers, Wood Thrushes, Towhees, Ovenbirds, Indigo Buntings,
Pine Warblers, Worm-eating Warblers, Black-and-white Warblers, Hooded Warblers,
Chestnut-sided Warblers, Goldfinches, Carolina Chickadees, White-breasted
Nuthatches, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Robins, Crows, Turkey Vultures, Brown
Thrashers, Catbirds, Field Sparrows, and Barn Swallows. I am certain I heard a
Red-breasted Nuthatch but I was distracted by a Hooded Warbler at the time and
didn't pursue the RBNU. I've up-loaded some photos of a Pine Warbler and
Hooded Warbler.
