Eight Birders joined us on this morning's wonderful trip and we could hardly leave the entrance where we saw 12 species, but we did, and tallied 36 species for the morning. We saw 5 species of Woodpeckers, including the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and ~15 Red-headed, and many E. Bluebirds. Some of our other sightings:
o Hermit Thrush
o Gray-headed and White-eyed Vireo
o Chipping and Bachman's Sparrow
o Four Warbler species, including Pine and Common Yellowthroat
o Bald Eagle
o Blue-headed Vireo
Three unusual birds seen in the dry pine forest were G.B. Heron and Wood Stork flying over and a Belted Kingfisher in the trees! The Butterflies were also showing off and many got their first look at a Rattlebox Moth which was quite plentiful. I have the feeling we will be repeating this trip this Winter.
