Had a nice hour at the Wetlands this morning between 8:30 and 9:30. Some
highlights were first-of-year (for me) ACADIAN FLYCATCHER and
CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, a PILEATED WOODPECKER enjoying some tasty bugs
from the railroad ties leading to the pond, about fifteen feet away from
me, and a female RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD on a nest. The nest shouldn't
be too hard to find if you're interested. Cross the bridge to the west
side of the creek separating the Wetlands Section from the Pony Pasture
section and head toward the river. At the first downed tree across the
creek, sight along the trunk back toward the east bank. About ten or
fifteen feet back, there is a gum sapling, and the nest is on a branch
on the right side of the sapling about 20 feet off the ground. Also had
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, VEERY and SCARLET TANAGER in the same area.
Warblers seen or heard:
Yellow-throated
Prothonotary
C. Yellowthroat
Black-throated Blue
Yellow-rumped
Redstart
