Total for the week: 90 species, including 19 warblers, and 8 Life Birds. I am especially proud of the Black-billed Cuckoo, which I identified by its call while birding on my own. There were 8 species I saw nesting, including both Blue-headed Vireo and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on Opossum Creek property.
Here's hoping to break 100 when I Flock to West Virginia next week!

Yeah! It's so close now, I can hardly wait.
Fingers crossed here for the hundred!
Katdoc, if I see all all the same birds you did I will add 21 species to my life list! Mostly all warblers and vireos, but I have yet to see a broad-winged hawk or a barred owl. I am so excited and wondering how to pack. I have to go back over that list you sent months ago. My biggest concern is staying dry if it rains. I know how the East Coast can be and I don't have much rain gear! Do I need boots? An umbrella? A rain pancho?
And thanks for the virtual house call. I am happy to report that just after I wrote that post Bonnie finally decided Breezy was acceptable again! They were both cuddling on my lap together this morning!
My head is spinning!!
