I would love to get the Bay-breasted Warbler, and was there a sign of the La Sagra's Flycatcher?
Those Worm-eating Warblers don't like me very much. Even as common as they are, I never see them, even if people saw many of them in the previous spot days before.
Those are the type of kids who give young people like me a bad name. Almost everytime I bird alone, especially in New York, adults like to joke about me being a kid who wants to scare all the animals away, especially on an organized neighborhood bird walk. They told me not to scare the birds away, and joked I was here to mess around. They stopped joking when I got them Warbling Vireo, Black-throated Green Warbler, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and a Bank Swallow in 30 minutes among other things. I pity those kids, and don't realize how special that park is for nature, not for practicing squirrel-pegging (not that there is a place for squirrel-pegging anyway)
As for the squirrel healer... Thanks, if that power is really true, teach it to me please. Thanks.
