Birded Lake Farm County from 7:00 to 11:00am. It was a beautiful, sunny, clear
day with the temperature starting at 40 degrees and slowly rising.
In the past the birds, more specifically the warblers, have not been singing
much. Today everybody was singing (me too). When I stepped out of the car it
sounded like a noisy insect invasion, It turned out to be a Tennessee Warbler
invasion. Every other bird I saw today was a Tennessee. I've never seen so
many. I thought with my hearing deficiency at the higher pitches I couldn't
hear the Tennessee Warblers but I was wrong. At least today I could hear them
and they were all over the place. (I even had one at my birdbath today and
that was a first.)
Highlights:
There was a pair of adult cranes with two chicks (colts) on the prairie part of
the park.
There were lots of Baltimore Orioles singing and chasing around.
Also numerous were various Vireos.
I had 15 species of warblers.
I had my FOY Lincoln Sparrow today.
My eBird report is appended below.
Hoping for more days like today, good birding to all,
