I got an early start. Figured I had to beat
The coming heat! Hilling rd had loads of
Dickcissels. All singing! It’s been a great
Week for singing Dickcissels. This bodes
Well for Warren county. I’ll get up there
Either Sunday or Monday. Blue grosbeaks were singing most everywhere I was today. I struck out on
Bobolink here though. So I hit Chaney
Rd. That grassland farm field area is
A haul from my house. Success! Took
Awhile, but finally had 2. Singing.
And more dickcissels! The Grosbeak
And bobolinks were new for Clinton life.
And the big year obviously!
In between these spots I hit the
Culberson woods preserve. I still need
Kentucky warbler for Clinton. That
Place looks great! A swamp. That is
Supposed to be mostly dry in the
Summer. Not this year…… I hit one
Flooded section of the trail. And
Couldn’t go any further. Oh well!
If I get time, I’ll put my knee high boots
On and try again. A new boardwalk
Is being built there. I have a feeling
A long way from completion.
Good birding all. I had a noon time
Errand so came home. If I head out
Again - for odes - it will be local.
