We took a late afternoon walk at CVP and came up with 39 species, mostly
regular residents.
Highlights were:
a couple Yellow-billed Cuckoos with a decent look at one of them
plenty of Eastern Bluebirds in various stages of feather development
a nice mixed flock of birds in the tree-line/hedgerow just preceding the
entrance to the last field at the northeast end of the Minebank Run
trail. We had 2 American Redstarts, Northern Parula, Blue-gray
Gnatcatcher, Eastern Towhee, White-eyed Vireo, Orchard Oriole, Tufted
Titmouse, Blue Jay, Gray Catbird and LOTS of Robins.
