Boston Hollow: I got there around 11 AM today, and it was bright and sunny and warm by then. If I don't give exact numbers for the species, they're estimates. Barry the Barred Owl was there, and he really does give a hoot, loudly and often. Especially today. Both seen and heard. I didn't hear any sign of Barreta, but I heard both of them a month or more ago, calling to each other. Ruffy the Grouse showed up again, first time I've seen it in a week, and I was worried. It was about 1/4 mile further north than the last time I saw it, still finding bugs and seeds on the road, and just as friendly as ever. F Red-shouldered Hawk - 1, still sitting with eggs in the nest. Broad-winged Hawk - 1 Un-id'd Hawks - 2 Turkey Vultures - 5 Common Raven - 1 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers - 2 Downy Woodpeckers, many Hermit Thrush - 1 Blue-headed Vireos - 6 or more Common Yellow-throats - 10 or more. Yesterday I heard only 1, none before that. Ovenbird - 8 or more. First time this year I have heard any - anywhere. LA Waterthrush - 10 or more Northern Waterthrush - 1, singing for the first time. I heard one yesterday too, but none before that. But I saw 2 almost 2 weeks ago now. Black-and-white Warblers - many Black-throated Green Warblers - Many, many Palm Warblers - 5 Pine Warblers - Hundreds yellow-rumped Warblers - bazillions Chickadees Titmice Cardinal - 1 Chipping Sparrows Song Sparrows Red-wings Grackles Starlings Cowbirds I still have not seen a Yellow Warbler in BH, but there is not too much habitat for them there and they aren't that numerous.
