Time Started: 0700 Time ended: 1333 The bird survey started off overcast, mild and mostly calm, turning warm and mostly clear with a light wind toward mid day. 50 species were found. There were numerous migrants around so I spent most of my effort on woodland Passerines. We still have several active Anhinga and Neotropic Cormorant nests on Pintail Lake. Here is my list for yesterday: Black-bellied Whistling Duck - 162 Wood Duck - 2 Blue-winged Teal - 4 Ring-necked Duck - 2 males Pied-billed Grebe – 2 Neotropic Cormorant - 9 Anhinga - 15 Great-blue Heron - 2 Great Egret - 5 Snowy Egret - 25 Little-blue Heron - 17 Cattle Egret - 335 Green Heron - 6 White Ibis - 7 Black Vulture - 94 Turkey Vulture – 24 Mississippi Kite - 11 Red-shouldered Hawk - 2 Purple Gallinule - 32 Common Gallinule - 46 American Coot – 2 Mourning Dove - 4 Yellow-billed Cuckoo - 6 Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 4 Red-bellied Woodpecker - 3 Downy Woodpecker - 1 Acadian Flycatcher - 1 Eastern Phoebe - 2 Eastern Kingbird - 19 White-eyed Vireo- 8 Red-eyed Vireo - 3 Blue Jay - 1 American Crow - 7 Fish Crow - 46 Northern Rough-winged Swallow - 8 Carolina Chickadee - 2 Tufted Titmouse - 3 Carolina Wren - 5 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 10 Northern Parula - 1 Yellow-throated Warbler - 1 Prothonotary Warbler - 1 Louisiana Waterthrush - 1 Hooded Warbler - 1 male Summer Tanager - 2 Northern Cardinal – 8 Indigo Bunting - 3 Painted Bunting - 1 Red-winged Blackbird - 3 Orchard Oriole - 2 Herps: American Alligator Blanchard's Cricket Frog Cope's Gray Treefrog Odes: Blue-fronted Dancer Common Green Darner Halloween Pennant Eastern Pondhawk Great-blue Skimmer Slaty Skimmer Blue Dasher Eastern Amberwing Striped Saddlebags Black Saddlebags Good birding!
