Hello everyone, my friend Joe Chronowski and I went birding after school
today. It drizzled for the first half of the outing, but it did let up for a
while. Highlights were an excellent look at a singing Northern Parula down
low. A total of 4 Louisiana Waterthrushes with 3 singing. Many gnatcatchers
were also around. Both of us had the best look we ever had at a Barred Owl.
We first saw it fly deep into the woods. I then made a very pathetic Barred
Owl imitation and was responded by a Wild Turkey! Shortly thereafter found
the owl sitting in a tree about 75 feet away staring at us. We ended up with
42 species, not bad for a cold and rainy day.
