This morning I birded Murphy-Hanrehan Park in Scott County, mainly for =
the previously reported Kentucky Warbler. Around 8:00 this morning the =
bird was singing about 50 yards east of marker 15 on the right side of =
the trail (near the top of the hill). To get there from marker 14, take =
the path to the right. The next intersection is marker 15, and again =
take the path to the right (this heads toward marker 16).
About 50 more yards from the Kentucky spot (still going east), the trail =
slopes down to a pond on the right. It was here where I heard a Summer =
Tanager singing and calling. Before this spot, I had heard and seen a =
few Scarlet Tanagers, so it was fairly easy to differentiate between the =
two songs. The Summer Tanager also gave a "pikki tuck tuck" call a few =
times. I never saw the bird, but it seemed fairly active in moving =
about the treetops. A couple of weeks ago there was a report of a =
Summer Tanager in Murphy-Hanrehan Park, but where specifically I can't =
remember, so this may very well be the same bird.
Also along this trail was a singing Hooded Warbler. There was another =
Hooded singing between markers 13 and 14.
There were a few people looking for the Prairie Warbler this morning, =
and as far as I know it wasn't seen or heard.
