Highlights of the Baltimore Bird Club field trip at Soldiers Delight NEA included: an extended look at a male Summer Tanager singing along the Red Trail; an adult barred owl; watching a trio Hairy Woodpeckers dance around the upper branches of an Oak; seeing a Brown Thrasher preening after a bath in the Red Run and watching a pair of Great-crested Flycatchers building a nest. We heard several warbler species singing on territory - Hooded, Northern Parula, Black-and-white, Prairie and Pine, Ovenbird and Yellow-breasted Chat. In addition, we saw a pair of Eastern Bluebirds and male Scarlet Tanager.
I enjoyed the company of seven birders that came out for the breeding bird activities and heat - I hope they got enough of both. Thank you Christine, Eileen, Ruth, Marian, Peter, Bob and John - you made a hot walk very cool.
