Spent a few hours this AM half-heartedly birding/exploring around Millington WMA. Birds of interest were 1 Kentucky Warbler seen foraging and chipping repeatedly along a trail off of 10 School rd, 3 Summer Tanagers and one Bobwhite calling near the trial head parking area off of Big Stone rd. Besides Red-eyed Vireos and Acdian Flycatchers that seemed to be calling and singing everywhere there weren't many other forest songbirds singing, I think I had 6 Wood Thrushes throughout the morning.
Some birds seen around Chino Farms at work this week and yesterday morning: 5 Kentucky Warblers (all singing) in a small area of the farm, 2 American Woodcocks seen at 0445 am on two occasions and 1 Warbling Vireo. The latter two birds we rarely see around in the summer on the farm.
