A single Wild Turkey hen surprised me at Little Bennett yesterday 
morning (Thursday 5/25). At first I got a quick glimpse of her further 
down the trail, and she darted into the bushes -- when I reached the 
spot where she disappeared, she flushed from the bushes less than five 
feet away.

Other birds included:

American Redstart (1)
Kentucky Warbler (1)
Louisiana Waterthrush (2)
Blackpoll Warbler (2, heard-only)
Black-throated Green Warbler (1, heard-only)
Ovenbird (1)
Northern Parula (1)

Yellow Warbler (1, heard-only)
Common Yellowthroat (2 -- a pair foraging)
Scarlet Tanagers (2 -- a pair foraging)
Eastern Wood-Pewee (1, heard-only)
Great Crested Flycatcher (2+ -- appeared to be checking out nest 
cavities, if they haven't already claimed them yet)
Acadian Flycatcher (2+)
Indigo Bunting (2+)
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (2 -- a pair feeding nestlings)
Carolina Wren (several -- a pair with fledglings)
White-eyed Vireo (1)
Red-eyed Vireo (several, most heard-only)
Eastern Towhee (3 -- two males, and a brief glimpse of a female)

... as well as the catbirds, cardinals, titmice, chickadees, etc.
