Title: May 2 Wet Woods - Chestnut-Sided, Willow Flycatcher, Veery
Post by: rickeckley on May 02, 2013, 05:48:21 PM
Well, the Wet Woods were showing all the signs of early stage warbler mania this morning from 10-2 with at least 7 species present, some still in small numbers, but growing by the day.  It was a day where there was something good around every corner.  Birds of interest included:

Flicker (not many left)
Willow Flycatcher (1 - Fitz-Pew!)
Warbling Vireo (1)
Gnatcatcher (3)
Veery (1)
Swainson's Thrush (1)
Nashville (3)
Yellow
Chestnut-Sided (1)
Black-Throated Blue (1, maybe 2)
Pine (maybe the very last one)
Yellow-Rump (many)
Palm (maybe even more than there were yellow-rumps)
Tree Sparrow (at least 2)
Song Sparrow (still lots, but numbers slowly dwindling)
Swamp Sparrow (1)
White Throated Sparrow (in plague-like numbers)
White Crowned Sparrow (1)
Red-Breasted Grosbeak (at least 3)
Meadowlark (2)
Rusty (1)
Cowbird (at least 6, many female)
