Hi folks,
I was working for a couple of days in the field in Cutler. The woods were exceptionally quiet. Young turkeys, a blackpoll warbler, singing blue-headed vireos and a group of vocalizing black scoters (nice sound) were some of the high points. The few birds I detected include:
1 Blackpoll warbler singing for an extended period of time
10 Palm warblers mostly pairs on nesting territories in proper habitat. Their range in song types were quite diverse ranging from slow and short to fast and long, some more musical than others.
2 Northern parulas
4 Blue-headed vireos
1 Northern waterthrush
~40 Yellow-rumps
1 Black-and-white warbler
1 Ovenbird
1 Ruby-throated hummingbird - In a clearing in the woods about 3/4 mile from human habitation
4 Black-capped chickadees
1 Boreal chickadee
1 Ruby-crowned kinglet
10+ Very dark Newfy America robins
25 Regular morph American robins
6 Turkey adults
4 Turkeys, young of the year. There appears to be at least a dozen based on fresh scat piles.
1 Ruffed grouse
10+ Osprey including courtship feeding on the nest and hostile encounters with northern harriers
4 White-throated sparrows
~15 Savannah sparrows
8 Song sparrows
6 Swamp sparrows
1 Chipping sparrow
6 Northern harriers (3-4 pairs) with courtship behavior and many vocalizations
4 Am kestrels
~10 Common ravens
~10 American crows
1 European starling
No counts on gulls, black ducks or Canada geese
Good birding.
