Title: Golden winged, black-billed cuckoo- Long Sault- July 29
Post by: beresford on July 29, 2010, 01:33:26 PM

Another great day at Long Sault today, especially early, between 6 and 7am.

 Highlights:

 -black-billed cuckoo
 -indigo bunting-5
 -wood duck
 -brown thrasher-2
 -field sparrow-8
 -red shouldered hawk-1
 -red-breasted nuthatch-6
 -ruby-throated hummingbird-2
 -rose-breasted grosbeak
 -belted kingfisher-2
 
  warbler species: nashville, black and white, yellow, common yellowthroat, tennessee, golden winged

  It was only the second time I've ever seen a golden-winged warbler and it stayed in plain sight for over a minute, no more than 15 feet away. A beautiful male who was kind enough to let me see him from the front back and side. The black-billed cuckoo croaked and then styaed in plain sight on a small jack pine for 3-4 minutes. A great surprise!

  Happy birding
