A few bird sightings from the past week:<br>
- 1 Yellowthroat (unusually scarce!) - Palmeter Woods--May 12, stilll
only one this a.m.<br>
- 1 Blackburnian Warbler (Palmeter Woods May 16. Nancy Nickerson reported
they was one by the river. Because of the location I presume it arrived
last night. I searched for it without success.<br>
- 1 Brown Creeper (heard)-Palmeter Woods. To me it seems&nbsp; to
&quot;throw&quot; its voice so I have difficulty determining where it
is.<br>
- a male Phoebe back at the bridge at Palmeter Woods. It darted under the
bridge several times so presumably the female was there nesting.<br>
- 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler, May 16-Palmeter Woods. Again should be many
more around here.<br>
- Parula Warblers much more common today at Palmeter Woods.<br>
- yesterday checked out a patch of woods near our home which is excellent
habitat for Yellow Warblers &amp; Catbirds. No luck but last evening
along the RR bed (Coldbrook), there was one of each. (Both were in same
bush &amp; both singing so it made for an odd&nbsp; melody!!) <br><br>
Other sightings at Palmeter Woods:<br>
- 1 American Lady<br>
- 1 Eastern Pine Elfin<br>
- a few Mustard Whites<br>
Pics of each were obtained and posted at:<br><br>
