Man, oh man, did I see some cool birds on Guesses Fork, today!
Warblers:
Canada
Blue-winged
Tennessee
Redstart
Pine
Magnolia
Hooded
Black-and-white
Worm-eating
Cape May (Daryl, it was sort of drab)
Black-throated Green
Chestnut-sided
Ovenbird
Bay-breasted (3 confirmed)
Blackpoll (1 confirmed)
A few unidentified warblers of the Baypoll variety
I saw the Canada on my way up the mountain in the morning, and about five
hours later, as I made my way back down, it (presumably the same bird) was
SINGING.
Also, Blue-headed Vireo, Yellow-throated Vireo, Scarlet Tanager,
Red-shouldered Hawk, Swainson's Thrush, Wood Thrush, Flicker, Downy, Hairy,
and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Screech Owl, Barred Owl.
I had a Raincrow go cuckoo at my Screech Owl impersonation, probably
because it wondered if it was hearing a Screech with a speech impediment, a
whole new species of owl, or an animal in dire straits giving a last yowl.
Happy fall birding,
Michelle
