I had time this morning for a little walk about our place. Thought I'd share my
list w/those interested. To begin ,we have nesting Catbirds, a pair of
Mockingbirds & Brown Thrashers in the various tangles along the creek & fence
rows. I had good looks @ both White-eyed Vireo & Common Yellowthroat in the
same areas & of course several Cardinals were foraging & singing there as well.
The portion of my trail that goes through the edge of the woods gave me great
views of a female Hooded Warbler & a male B&W Warbler. While near the woods, I
also heard an Ovenbird,Wood Thrush & Great-crested Flycatcher. A male
Ruby-throated Hummingbird & an Eastern Wood Pewee were also seen near the woods.
Chimney Swifts , Tree & Barn Swallows, Morning Doves, Red-winged Blackbirds &
Cowbirds seemed to be everywhere. Cedar Waxwings enjoyed the red berries from
the Honeysuckle bush in the yard while Goldfinches,House Finches & Jays dined @
the feeders. Song & Chipping Sparrows were noted as well as Bluebirds & Robins.
The ever present Crow & a lone Raven flying over round out this morning's list.
Oops, just remembered the Titmouse & Towhee I saw!
