Chimney Rock and Jackson Park 4/15/01



Visited Jackson Park and Chimney Rock today.
Jackson Park was a wash out mostly, but we were able to pick out a few birds 
before we retreated.
  Orange crowned warbler
  Prarie warbler
  Redstart
  WE vireo
  RC kinglet

So we ate lunch and decided to try out Chimney Rock. And Chimney "rocked." 
The following birds were observed on the Forest Stroll path. 
    Wild turkey
    Blue gray gnatcatcher
    WB nuthatch
    RC kinglet
    Eastern phoebe
    Hermit thrush 
    Red eyed vireo 
    White eyed vireo 
    Yellow throated vireo
    Hooded warbler 
    Worm-eating warbler- one of them was sitting about 10 feet away with his 
whole   body vibrating away as he sung. 
    Blackpoll warbler
    Black and white warbler
    Black throated green warbler
    American redstart
    Yellow rumped warbler
    Cerulean warbler- It sure seems these guys are on territories.
    Scarlet tanager
    Indigo bunting
    Wood thrush


2 new sp. with the Worm-eating and Cerulean, so not a bad day!
