From Robert Loveday:
This morning I dropped by the marsh area on Bear Creek Rd. below
the Hwy 58 bridge, & saw 4 brown-headed nuthatches working 2
side-by-side trees on the left side of the marsh. I initially
saw a bhnu pair on the right side that flew over the gravel road
to join another pair. A downy woodpecker flew in & would have
landed on one of them, if the bhnu hadn?t veered off at the last
second. It?s interesting to note, that after I posted 5/28 about
a brown-headed nuthatch excavating a cavity of a dead pine tree
at this marsh , I had not seen one since on 7 more visits (Kelly
Roy spotted bhnu there on 5/29). Also seen in this same area
over the past week: Prothonotary warbler, pair of Black-crowned
night herons, Green heron, Osprey, Red-headed woodpecker,
Common yellowthroats, Eastern Wood Peewees, Yellow breasted
chat.
On my companies (Duratek) private fenced property line just off
Bear Creek Rd, I saw a pair of Kentucky warblers chasing each
other on 6/12, & have seen a single Kentucky warbler 3 times
since. They have been seen in a 30 yard stretch of woods near a
creek. Per the attached link (a2z for birders online guide,
an excellent web site, particularly for warblers:
http://www.a2z4birders.com/cgi-bin/birds?F=S&S=kewa&C=PFG )
there doesn?t seem to be a high count for the Kentucky warbler
breeding in our area. So I will try to keep on an eye on these
elusive birds, although the chigger bites are starting to get
the better of me.
