The bird survey started off overcast, mild, and a little windy, turning partly cloudy and warm and more windy by mid morning. 79 species were found. Best highlight was another Glossy Ibis in with a flock of 24 White-faced Ibis. The Anhinga/Neotropic Cormorant rookery on Otter Lake was abandoned for some unknown reason. There are still a few Anhingas nesting on Pintail Lake though. Most of the effort today was spent working Passerines looking for migrant warblers of which there were few. Looks like we mostly got passed over this year. Here is my list for today: Black-bellied Whistling Duck - 3 Canada Geese - 1 Wood Duck - 12 Ring-necked Duck - 1 Pied-billed Grebe – 3 Neotropic Cormorant - 5 Anhinga - 25 Least Bittern - 1 Great-blue Heron - 5 Great Egret - 7 Snowy Egret - 9 Little-blue Heron - 23 Cattle Egret - 75 Green Heron - 10 Yellow-crowned Night Heron - 2 White Ibis - 42 White-faced Ibis - 24 Glossy Ibis - 1 Black Vulture - 9 Turkey Vulture – 15 Mississippi Kite - 7 Cooper's Hawk - 1 Red-shouldered Hawk - 2 Purple Gallinule - 56 Common Gallinule - 48 American Coot – 3 Black Tern - 2 Mourning Dove - 14 Yellow-billed Cuckoo - 7 Red-bellied Woodpecker - 5 Downy Woodpecker - 1 Pileated Woodpecker - 1 Alder Flycatcher - 1 Great-crested Flycatcher - 1 Eastern Kingbird - 27 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher - 3 White-eyed Vireo- 14 Bell's Vireo - 1 Red-eyed Vireo - 1 Blue Jay - 3 American Crow - 6 Fish Crow - 5 Purple Martin - 3 Tree Swallow - 6 Cliff Swallow - 3 Barn Swallow - 4 Carolina Chickadee - 4 Tufted Titmouse - 7 Carolina Wren - 10 Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 4 Wood Thrush - 1 Gray Catbird - 5 Cedar Waxwing - 15 Tennessee Warbler - 1 Nashville Warbler - 1 Northern Parula - 2 Northern Yellow Warbler - 2 Prairie Warbler - 2 Black-and-white Warbler - 2 Prothonotary Warbler - 12 Kentucky Warbler - 1 Common Yellowthroat - 15 Yellow-breasted Chat - 7 Summer Tanager - 5 Eastern Towhee - 2 Lincoln's Sparrow - 3 Northern Cardinal – 11 Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 1 Blue Grosbeak - 1 Indigo Bunting - 30 Painted Bunting - 11 Dickcissel - 21 Bobolink - 5 Red-winged Blackbird - 11 Common Grackle - 7 Brown-headed Cowbird - 13 Orchard Oriole - 21 Baltimore Oriole - 1 Herps: American Alligator Red-eared Slider Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad Blanchard's Cricket Frog Green Frog Bullfrog Odes: Fragile Forktail Common Green Darner Eastern Pondhawk Blue Dasher Black Saddlebags Good birding!
