Last weekend was an excellent birding weekend but this weekend also had many nice treats. I wasn’t able to get out on Saturday so I was left with Sunday and a vacation day on Monday.
Sunday was spent at the RRNC and Sandy Ridge Reservation. Orioles and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were suddenly in abundance. So were Great-crested Flycatchers. We found the Hooded Warblers again this year. They've set up residence the last few years. It looks like they’re back. Generally, warbler numbers were down but the weather fronts have not been cooperative. It looks like mid-week might be the best. Too bad I’ll be stuck in the office.
On Monday I headed out with Dad. We went to Magee Marsh, Sheldon Marsh, and Mill Hollow Reservation. It was a strange day. The winds were from the north and rather chilly. It seemed the warblers have pushed inland. We did manage to find lots of Orioles everywhere, Snowy Egrets at Magee, and Cerulean Warblers at Mill Hollow. That was a nice surprise.
