March and April 2010 Bird Observations
March 15: Grandvue Park, Moundsville, WV
Observed 2 or 3 blue bird pairs in area behind conference center.
Horned Lark seen on ground, mowed area that appears to have been airated.
March 27:
Saw my first group of Tohees. Many Males already singing and finding their pile of thick brush.
March 30 - April 3: Florida
traveled to Englewood Florida area. Many observations including whistling ducks, Morhens, yellow rumped warblers, every kind of egret and heron.
Rookery:
An amazing rookery included a small island that held over 400 birds per evening. Ibis, herons, egret, comorants, anhingas, and many more. I will TRY TO POST A VIDEO OF THIS AMAZING ROOKERY. All patroled by one gator.
Nearby was a great horned owl that I was told had a successful nest on a radio tower which I could observe from the rookery.
Loggerhead Shrike eating a dragonfly on a nearby fence was a good bird to see.
April 11: Grandvue:
All woodpeckers, cowbirds, blue birds, thrashers, loud blue jays, field and chipping sparrows, all out and about today. I was able to make some breeding bird atlas entries based on these observations.
April 25: Grandvue:
5:30 Pm observed at least a dozen yellow rumped warblers, mixed with several blue birds and two thrashers. The warblers were great to see. One tree in an open field held 4 warblers and a pair of blue birds, I spent 30 minutes at one tree.
