We enjoyed the TAS Matheson walk today. Especially the Blue-winged Warbler and Short-tailed Hawk. Thanks to everyone.
After the walk we headed out to Sadowski with Dan.
Upon arriving and exiting the car we spotted 2 Ovenbird towards the far right of the Tree Arboretum by the parking. We were walking the trail and as we were stopped observing a Flycatcher we were treated to a Chuck-will's-widow that flew in between Angel & Dan and right past me. Later we identified the flycatcher as an Acadian. Below is a list of the birds we saw:
1 Chuck-will's-widow
1 Acadian Flycatcher
2 Red-bellied Woodpecker
13 N. Mockingbird
5 Red-eyed Vireo
1 Northern Parula
11 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
1 Red-Shouldered Hawk (heard)
2 Ruby-throated Hummingbird (fighting chasing after each other)
3 N. Cardinal
1 Mourning Dove
3 Northern Waterthrush (bobbing towards the end of the trail)
3 Ovenbird (1 in the trail & 2 by the parking Arboretum area)
1 Common Grackle (on a picnic table outside the trail)
7 Blue Jay
1 Black-and-White Warbler
2 Double-crested Comorant
After Angel & I left Sadowski we decided to search for the Red-whiskered Bulbul on our drive home near Baptist area.
Thankful that we did because we were treated to another lifer for the day...1 Red-Whiskered Bulbul perched on a power line.
Beautiful. FINALLY after many attempts! Great day overall!
Nature is Awesome!
