Birders,
In near triple-digit temperatures and breezy conditions, I visited Lamar
Community College (Prowers County) this afternoon. I tried to handicap
myself further by starting at 12:30 p.m and staying until 2:30 p.m.
Despite my shortcomings, I found a number of interesting birds.
On the north end of the woods, I had two immature female American
Redstarts, one Nashville Warbler and one immature Carolina Wren.
Bird activity centered on the south end of the woods. I had three
Townsend's Warblers and one Red-breasted Nuthatch favoring the tall
cedar trees on the south end. Probably my best bird was an adult
White-eyed Vireo in the old banding lanes just north of the cedars. I
observed one Tennessee Warbler, multiple Western Tanagers, one
Great-crested Flycatcher, one male Northern Cardinal and one male
Red-bellied Woodpecker in the tall cottonwoods just north of the
soaptree thicket.
For birders that live in more settled parts of the state, practically
every woodlot and shoreline around here is likely to host a hunting
party. The LCC woods are a welcome quiet oasis.
