It was another fantastic day at the orchard. I was there from 10:00 - 12:00 A.M. I tried to count numbers of each species, but it didn't quite work.(sorry Chris) They were moving around too much. Anyway, there seemed to be a number of birds in just about every tree. It was a real treat! As Gary put it yesterday "I love the Hawthorn Orchard". The following is my list. Also, I only birded the Northeast and Northwest areas. Many Black-throated Green Warblers Many Black-throated Blue Warblers Common Yellowthroat One Orange-crowned Warbler on the northeast side of the orchard. It was skulking in the low bushes at that entrance. Yellow Warblers Yellow-rumps galore Many Blackburnian Warblers Many Northern Parulas Nashville Warblers 4 at least Tennessee Warbler 4 + Chestnut-sided Warblers Magnolia Warblers 3+ Many Black and White Warblers American Redstart Scarlet Tanagers were there Rose-breasted Grosbeaks - I saw a male and female together. Great Crested Flycatcher There were also Baltimore Orioles, Blue-Gray Catbird, Northern Cardinal, Tufted Titmouse, flyover Mallard. A fellow birder saw an Indigo Bunting that I missed. It was around the ravine. Also, a Canada Warbler was reported around that area.
After the Hawthorn Orchard, I did stop by Park Preserve to hear a Prairie Warbler. There were a number there. Lastly, I stopped by Sandbank Road and saw 8+ Bobolinks. They are back.
