Title: May 9th - Highway closure
Post by: Shortsighted on May 09, 2025, 01:18:59 PM
No bird super highway along the bluffs today ... just a kinglet and one Blue-headed vireo.  Away from the bluff was also quiet.  I relocated farther north to see where the warblers all went.  Always been a sucker for flycatchers ... don't know why, so seeing a Great crested flycatcher this morning (again) I was primed to work the area.  Also saw FOY kingbird, but no photo.  Warblers were only Myrtle, Palm and N. parula.  Thought that I spotted a Tennessee warbler but turned out to be a FOY Red-eyed vireo.

Off the brink of the bluffs ... far away and below me ... Blue-headed vireo

Arnold, the oriole.  A fellow was putting out seed for a grosbeak and I suggested a half of an orange to attract an oriole but on repeated visits I noticed he didn't take my advise ... no one ever does.  I sometimes have a half orange in a zip-lock bag and put it on a log and then return later.Hit and miss, really.  I love those hits.
