The Am.Kestrels are nesting at the barn as before. Also Gr.Blue/Green Herons, Chimney Swift, Alder Flycatcher, E.Kingbird, Ovenbirds; we were treated to many other species but undoubtedly the winners were the two Blue-Winged Warblers that afforded us fabulous looks. Thank you, Elliott for your hospitality.

On our return a stop at 5-Mile Pt. added Wood Ducks, Alder/Willow Flycatchers, Rough-Winged/Cliff Swallows, Am.Redstart/Magnolia Warblers plus.
June 17: Cole Park
A Prairie Warbler greeted us & the trail along the lake yielded the expected woods birds like Blue-Hd./Red-Eyed Vireos, Veery, Wood Thrush, Blk-thr.Green Warblers & Ovenbirds; Killdeer on the shore. Heading back via Old State Rd. we picked up W.Turkeys, RT Hawks, Am.Kestrel, a Merlin flying over, Chestnut-Sided Warblers, Bobolinks and many more.
