Thought some might be interested to know that I easily found the BOBOLINKs
reported the other day on Leeds Manor Road.
After that I visited Thompson WMA and birded a couple of the trails along
Freezewood Rd. Nothing too spectacular, but had relatively numerous CERULEAN
WARBLER (saw 6 and heard significantly more), REDSTART (at least 15),
NORTHERN PARULA, OVENBIRD, HOODED WARBLER, BLACK-THROATED BLUE. A fellow
birder I tagged along with also thought he heard a few more species which we
didn't actually get in view.
Great views of 3 different male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK.
Also, more SCARLET TANAGERS than I have seen in one area in my life. AT
LEAST 12 along a section of the Trilium Trail.
