<u>Today at Palmeter Woods<br>
</u>Several tractors, one with trailer &amp; logging grapple, were
working removing pine logs from near the old firepit. Apparently the plan
is to dig out this hill in the unceasing search for sand in Kings Co.
There are also orange flagging tape throughout the area so it appears
these woods will soon be no more.<br><br>
I found the following: Chestnut-sided Warbler, Redstart, Phoebe (south of
the bridge......late showing up but thought to nest here last year), 15+
Ovenbirds, several Parula Warblers, 2 Brown Creepers (singing), Hermit
Thrush, ++Blue-headed Vireos (two males were apparently competing for
overlapping territories &amp; both songs consisted of notes very close
together (similar to Red-eyed.... both were also very agitated), B/T/G
Warblers, Rose-breasted Grosbeak &amp; the usual common birds.<br><br>
Have not heard a Winter Wren here yet. I find Black &amp; White Warblers
to be scarce&nbsp; this spring.<br><br>
The only Lep was Spring Azures.<br>
The only odonate was a White Corporal; photo here:<br><br>
