Young Birder Fall Warblers Walk at Howard County Conservancy

Trip leader: Rochan & Vitus
Recorder: Vitus
Photographer: Chen Chiu
Date of trip: August 27, 2027
Location: Howard County Conservancy at Mount Pleasant Number attending: 12
Details: Wind, NE;cloudy with light rain, 65-72 degrees. Fun to hear a Dickcissel with most of the group in morning flight between 7-8 am, as well as observing active migration, including a late Canada Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Cape May Warblers, Magnolia Warblers, and Palm Warblers, as well as several Red-headed Woodpeckers and a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Unfortunately, most of the walk was dead until most participants had left, where we were treated to large flocks with a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, several Blue-headed Vireos, and a majestic Philadelphia Vireo.
