Continued to survey McKee-Beshers WMA for nesting birds.  Walked from 
the center parking lot to the towpath and then east to milepost 24. Retrace 
my steps on the return trip for the most part, but came back through the 
fields a slightly different way.  Finished my day checking the impoundments.
     Not a bad day-55 species.  Highlights were a male turkey displaying for 
at least 2 females (flushed one in the same general area on the return 
trip), a singing Yellow-throated Warbler, 2 singing Northern Waterthrushes, 
and a male Blue Grosbeak.  Species I saw here for the first time this year 
were: Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Ovenbird, and Scarlet 
Tanager.
