The birding started out slow this morning at M-H, then really picked up. =
16 warbler species, including some really nice ones:
Four HOODED warblers (at marker 14 near the road, btw 13 and 15, btw 2 =
and 10, and btw 3 and 4). The one btw 2 and 10 provided incredible =
views. It hung around singing for the 20 minutes I was there and came =
within feet when I "pished."
A CONNECTICUT warbler 2/3 of the way from #1 to #2--singing nicely =
before popping briefly into view for a nice display before flying off. A =
CANADA warbler showed up in the same location.
Other warblers of note: a MOURNING (that decided to fly up to sing in =
the open), a GOLDEN-WINGED, a BAY-BREASTED, and two BLACKBURNIAN.
Aside from good warblers: an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER btw 16 and 17; a =
GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH btw 3 and 4. (As I was leaving, I ran into a man and =
woman who were photographing birds; they had just gotten the =
gray-cheeked and were on their way to try for a hooded. If you two read =
this, I hope you met with success!)
I understand now why people say it's easy to get lost at M-H. I don't =
understand why some of the trail intersections are not marked (or at =
least not clearly marked). To whom might one complain about this?
