Ventured north to Lake Morey en route to the Depo in Bradford. (I try to mix up routes) Met John Sutton at Depo.
Lake M. was relatively quiet. 3 R-b Gulls. 1 Spotted Sandpiper. The forest produced my first Rose-br. Grosbeak and Blue-w. Warbler.
As I drove (west side) and approached Lanikila. I drive with windows open. Camp is in view…heard a rasping, loud “three-eight”. I have heard this bird in the same spot before.
Hopped out of car….and was treated to fine looks at a Yellow-throated Vireo. (came back w/ John later). Bird is right along the road, with boys camp/ Hulbert in sight.
Depo: Eastern kingbird, Yellow Warblers, Y-r Wa’s, Pine Wa. , Black&Whites, Great Blue, Warbling Vireo, Least Flyc.
I think the flood gates will open this week…. !
Drove into north end of UVD, Buzzell Rd. Listening for LoWa. There is a small water course about 500 yards down from first gate. They have been here for a # of years.
Its that liquid, slurry song. Hard bird (fro me) to see…seems rather elusive. Louisiana Waterthrush.
Happy days !
