Did not add any new species for the year, but it was a fun morning.Two Louisiana waterthrushes were "dueling" at the swamp for all seasons (which isn't labelled anymore, so that might be a worthless description). Couldn't find them while they were singing, but i waited and both birds showed themselves while quietly foraging. A yellow rumped warbler joined one of the waterthrushes on a log, but when the waterthrush walked toward him, he flew off. Enjoyed watching the waterthrush walking on moss covered logs in the sun, his legs practically glowing red.
Also, noticed an interaction between a yellow bellied sapsucker and a red bellied woodpecker, with the red bellied flying off when "challenged" by the sapsucker.
Winter wren Brown thrusher brown creeper yellow belled sapsuckers were numerous. golden crowned kinglets (numerous) yellow rumped warblers (numerous).
