This weekend probably falls in the category of "How lucky can just one
person get.?"
Rock Wren - Felton Prairie
The bird was present Sunday morning between 9:00am - 9:30am and was singing
away when I left. It seems perfectly content singing on its rock pile.
Says Phoebe - near Felton Prairie
About two hours after spotting the Rock Wren on Saturday, I saw a Says
Phoebe feeding along Clay county road 34. I watched the bird for about three
minutes and eventually lost sight of it as it flew off to the south. I could
not relocate it on Sunday. See previous posts for directions regarding these
two birds. Thanks to Connie Norheim & Tony Hertzel for their prompt posts!
Other notes:
Wilson's Phalaropes: 136 birds at the Twin Valley sewage ponds, 83 at the
Ada sewage ponds on Saturday.
Whip-poor-Will: one bird singing at the campground of
Buffalo River State Park.
Loggerhead Shrike: one bird at the east end of Clay county 108 on
Sunday morning.
Harris & White-crowned Sparrows: everywhere!
Warblers, thrushes, vireos & flycatchers are just starting to show up in
this part of the state.
For the weekend:
13 duck species
10 shorebird species (few migrants around and little variety)
7 warbler species
14 sparrow species
119 species total
Regards..
