Awesome day at Susquehanna. Started very early at Rock Run, where the best
birds were BAY BREASTED and BLACKBURNIAN. The picnic area was hopping. I
refound, (or possibly the same bird) a MOURNING WARBLER, not too far from
the one I had on Sat. Very vocal, and I was able to get a good look. Next
was a GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, in the same vicinity. I alerted Tim Houghton
to both of these birds, but I've got to give him credit for directing me to
the TENNESEES on Craig's Corner Rd. Another amazing bird was the
MISSIPPIPPI KITE that flew over the paking lot. The overall shape, dark
underneath and short flared tail were giveaways. Other great birds were a
WILLOW FLYCATCHER by the pond, near the playground area, and a WILSON'S
WARBLER, along the row of trees by the toll booth. Lots of CANADAS,
MAGNOLIAS and CHESTNUT-SIDEDS. Also had a PRAIRIE WARBLER, closer to the
chat field. If I could only find that Nashville that hangs around the toll
booth!
Oh, and my husband had a NIGHTHAWK fly past our house, that I missed
because I went to put gas in my car!
