Recap - Rainbow Springs

2/28/2016

Comments

 
Twelve birders started out, feeling the chill in the air, but the birds didn't mind.  The sun was bright and there were several hot spots with much activity. The first hot spot gave us a hive like flurry of  activity.  The Tufted Titmouse brought many of the first of the count for us to view.  Chickadees, Black & white Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White-eyed Vireo, and Yellow-rumped Warblers.  Our next hot spot was on the boardwalk.  Here we watched at least three Yellow-throated Warblers competing for the same bits of insect ridden tree moss.  Again the Titmouse had his entourage of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Pine Warblers, Chickadees, and Kinglets.  I am always excited to see one of the earliest migratory harbingers of Spring. It gives me a happy feeling to see my FOS (first of the season) Northern Parula whose name literally means "little titmouse"  in both of the hot spots.  We had 38 species for this area.  Our continuing trip was out to the main road and up to the campground. We had 22 species for this area. A total of 43 for both areas. The highlighted links will take you to the eBird lists. The combined list is below.
