I took my 2 grandsons on a nature walk (aka. birding expedition) to the 
Fishing Trail at Tuckahoe Park.  This trail is off of Horeshoe Road.

A singing Ovenbird bird greeted us as we got out of the car.  Then, about 
100 yards onto the trail on the left, a bird began its callnote, low in the 
shrubs.  Without the bins, my first thought was a Common Yellowthroat, but 
with the bins it morphed into a beautiful Kentucky Warbler with a 
caterpiller in its mouth.  I assume it is nesting nearby.  Great looks for a 
couple of minutes before the younger crowd wanted to move on.

Other birds seen and heard at the bridge included:
  One Northern Parula singing almost continuously
  One Prothonotary singing
  Possibly 2 Acadian Flycatchers
    One Hairy Woodpecker
Plus the usual assortment of Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, Wood Thrush, 
Goldfinch.

My Grandson, in his Indiana Jones persona, found a nice sized Black Snake 
and was suitably frightened.

Returning home, I dug some new potatoes in the garden and had a Scarlet 
Tanager singing in a mulberry tree.

It took me 8 years of birding to finally see a Kentucky ... it took my 
grandsons 5 minutes.
