What a nice list! How come Laura gets to go birding in mid-morning. O yes, she's retired.
I went through Shindagin Hollow on Wed morning. As an indicator of the biodiversity in this small stretch of road: I didn't get all that Laura found, but you can add the following to a list of birds potentially found Prairie Warbler: about one mile north of the northern start of the state forest (outside of the forest) on the west side of the road across a slope and up the farther hillside with extensive, shrubby trees and open habitat Blue-winged Warbler: about 1.5 miles north of the state forest, on the east side of the road in an area of moderately dense, early succession, small-diameter trees. Louisiana Warbler and Winter Wren, *both heard in some location* four days earlier: about a mile or more into the state forest, down very steep slope, creek flowing rapidly enough to be heard, just at the start of old "guard rail" consisting of an iron cable now largely lying on the ground. Bay-breasted and Tennessee (but no Blackpoll) calling along road. What a great place.
