Where Jim Green took a group about a month ago was off Hughes Hollow Road
north of the park entrance. Go up this road about a quarter of a mile
and park by the gate on the left; walk across the road into the field and
stand in the middle of the open field on the right. This worked for us.
I ran into Jim yesterday at Hughes Hollow; he reported spotting 2
Red-headed Woodpeckers, a Rusty Blackbird and an American Bittern, all in
the area of the impoundments. The Bittern was near where the first path
goes off to the left. I was not so fortunate, although I did see a fly
over of 10 Tundra Swans and the loads of Tree Swallows over the
impoundments. On the way out, along the dirt road, I saw a bunch of
White-throated Sparrows and 2 Red-shouldered Hawks being hounded by a
single Crow!
In the area of Reilly's Lock, I ran into other MOSers (Lydia, Linda and
Ann) who reported hearing a Louisiana Waterthrush. Robb and Denise
reported seeing a Yellow-throated Warbler in the area of Violet's Lock.
I had to satisfy myself mostly with the beautiful wild flowers, but I did
see some Eastern Phoebes, a Red-tailed Hawk and American Goldfinches and
a beautiful day.
