[cobirds] Flagler SWA

Got a late start to Flagler this morning, but it may have made the day for me. Everything I found was in the tree area south-southeast of the boat ramp on the west side.

Managed to find a yellow-bellied sapsucker in the midst of all the yellow-shafted and red-shafted flickers. A winter wren was still present, no idea if it was the same one as last week. A blue-headed vireo was around, though for a slow gleaner it was sure moving. A Tennessee warbler was moving through in the same area as the vireo. A very surprising hatch year female mourning warbler came to observe me as I was pishing at the Tennessee warbler. Two Harris's sparrows were chirping in a tree and evading all the other birds in the area. The wood thrush from Tuesday (?) was still around, and as expected, did not like to be seen very easily. Two northern bobwhites were calling to each other but not willing to come into view. Lastly, three young turkeys had no idea what to do when they sensed me in the area, and proceeded to walk one direction, change their mind and go another, change their mind again, but finally walked out of sight.
