Hiked up to the top of Cameron Mt this morning from the state park's Youngtown Road trailhead, serenaded the whole way by birds. The woods are finally filling back up with song. Also, black flies.
-- Black-throated Green Warblers competed with Ovenbirds for the most numerous singing species, with Ovenbirds winning 26 - 20.
Other singing highlights included:
FOY Blackburnian Warbler - 3
FOY Nashville Warbler - 3
FOY Common Yellowthroat - 1
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 8
(11 warbler sp total)
Blue-headed Vireo - 3
Winter Wren - 3
Wood Thrush - 3, the most I've heard in one place in years
Eastern Towhee - 1 on the edge of the blueberry barrens on Cameron Mt
Purple Finch - 3
Flyovers included a vocal Common Raven and a Bald Eagle.
One butterfly that may have been an Eastern Comma; blooming Wild Oats and Coltsfoot.
