Great bird list
Yesterday was a wonderful day to be at the grasslands. The morning was cloudy, cool and with a few raindrops sprinkled in.
My bird list of 19 species included the following:
American Robin
Carolina Chickadee – saw
Carolina Wren
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Great Crested Flycatcher
Green Heron – saw
Indigo Bunting – saw
Louisiana Waterthrush – saw
Mourning Dove – saw
Northern Cardinal – saw
Northern Mockingbird
Painted Bunting
Pileated Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Red-eyed Vireo
Summer Tanager
Tufted/Black-crested Titmouse hybrid
Vultures -saw
White-eyed Vireo
As you can see from my list they were mostly heard birds. And I used the Merlin app to make the list. It was symphony of songs!
This was definitely the highlight of morning, the Louisiana Waterthrush! It allowed me to get within fifteen to twenty feet.

Keep looking!
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know
Wow the waterthrush really put on a show for you.
I am so glad to hear that the Pileateds are still there.
Yes the Pileateds are still here and there. 🙂
What a great bird day esp the water thrush!
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that waterthrush. Cool.
First one I ever saw was with Claire years ago. 🙂
Fantastic video of the waterthrush!
Thanks!
That buttonbush gall is neat, never seen it before.
