Birds of Belleplain - Thursday, May 9th, 2013

A birdy morning with good views of a singing Scarlet Tanager at the Visitor Center parking lot. Also here we had a very cooperative Black-throated Blue Warbler. A little later at the Boy Scout camp, we had great views of a singing Summer Tanager. Other birds of interest were 2 highly visible Worm-eating Warblers, numerous Prairie Warblers, Pine, and Yellow-throated Warblers, heard Hooded, and Louisiana Waterthrush, and 1 singing, perched Blue-winged Warbler. Leaders: Bert Hixon, Karl Lukens, and Shaun Bamford.
