It was challenging, but it was also very successful. When everyone in a 15 person group gets really good looks at a Yellow-throated Warbler, that is just great. It is a very beautiful, and very uncommon bird in our area.
I also enjoyed my first singing Purple Martins, plus almost overwhelming numbers of singing Field and Chipping Sparrows, great looks at Pine Warblers, male and female, lots of woodpeckers, mostly Downy and Red-bellied, but also a loud but unseen Pileated Woodpecker.
We had a total of 39 species again on this field trip, which brings our 3 field trip total to 81 species. Just wait, in the peak migration in May, we should get close to 100 species in just one field trip.
PS - Post below has directions to Redden State Forrest for April 24.
