Lee Underschultz Firefly Hollow Little Hocking, OH Athens/Washington counties Even with the questionable weather I was able to hit the trails for a total of 7 hours this weekend. I had some nice finds. The most activity overall was around the driveway and garden in the hollow. There I saw and/or heard: Red-Eyed Vireo Wood Thrush Hooded Warbler Carolina Wren (about 4-5 in one group) Cerulean Warbler American Redstart Yellow-throated Warbler Northern Cardinal American Goldfinch Tufted Titmouse Carolina Chickadee Eastern Bluebird (4 babies in the nestbox) Ruby-throated Hummingbird Song Sparrow Chipping Sparrow American Crow Blue-winged Warbler Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Louisiana Waterthrush Eastern Phoebe Green Heron Then I hit the trails on the Segway and found a couple of Ovenbirds courting, an Eastern Towhee nest with 4 eggs. Altogether the birds I saw different from in the hollow: Ovenbird (LOTS!) Eastern Towhee Indigo Bunting Turkey Vulture Brown Thrasher Red-bellied Woodpecker Blue Jay Baltimore Orioles (2 males together) Brown-headed Cowbird Red-Tailed Hawk (nest in clear view) Evening Grosbeak (been in the same place for several days) Scarlet Tanager (male and female) Mourning Dove Downy Woodpecker Great Blue Heron (flying over) Canada Geese (flying over) I saw two birds that I couldn't identify. The first was a small bird that looked much like a Junco for size & shape. But the color was unlike any I've seen. It was white in the belly and throat with a cinnamon color wash over the head and back. It was chipping at me but no song for identification. It was on a multiflora rose bush in a meadow area that is punctuated with brush and bordered by large hardwoods on two sides and pines on the other two sides. It was also very close to a male indigo bunting so I'm wondering if it was a female that had some sort of leucistic tendency. The other bird landed in a tree by the creek this evening about 7:30 PM. So I'm not sure if it was a migrant just coming through. It had a prominent white eye ring and two white wing bars. It had a grayish head with olive green back and a yellow on flanks and belly. Am I nuts or could this have been a migrating Blue-headed Vireo? One other bird seen at the feeder is a house finch. This may not be very exciting to most of you but since the house finch eye disease outbreak they have been absent from our feeders. This is the first sign of their return here. The Pine Siskins seem to have moved on since I changed from black oil sunflower seed to safflower seed.
