Birds of Belleplain State Forest - Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Nice day and good birding although we heard more than we saw. Good looks at Northern Parula and Yellow-throated, Pine, Worm-eating, and Prairie Warblers. A Yellow-billed Cuckoo was also enjoyed by all. Acadian Flycatchers performed well as usual. Leaders: Jim Armstrong, Bert Hixon, Karl Lukens, Patty Rourke, and Karen Johnson.
