Spent  six hours  Saturday and  five hours Sunday at Hughes Hollow and =
vicinity, mainly checking nest boxes and doing birding bird surveys.  =
Managed to record 72 species mostly the normal summer residents.  =
Highlights were a Common Moorhen(5-23), probably the one I saw on the =
May count, in the swampy area on the south side of the east-west =
causeway, near the west end; a Least Bittern (5-23) at the east end of =
the large impoundment; a nice adult  Yellow-crowned Night Heron (5-23) =
in the first stream as you are driving toward Sycamore Landing; and two =
singing  Grasshopper Sparrows (5-22) one in the field northwest of the =
intersection of River Road and Sycamore Landing Road and one in the =
field north of the parking lot along River Road as you are driving back =
to Seneca. I had singing Northern Waterthrushes each day and the Willow =
Flycatcher saturday surveying its domain from a tall, bare tree in the =
middle of the buttonbush swamp. I still haven't seen them in the other 2 =
locations they normally  bred here.
