Blue Mash tidbits

Migration seems to be winding down. It was slow this weekend. Nothing much about to tickle my excitement, apart from a Swainson's Thrush, for which I had to bushwack through the woods. At the far corner of Blue Mash one can exit the fenced area and walk into the woods. Generally, a good way to pick up Ovenbird, Wood Thrush, Woodpeckers etc., you get the idea. This is where I saw the Swainson's. Unfortunately you cannot walk too far before seeing signs that make you assume you just entered a Nuclear Power Station or the Pentagon premises, oh no just some hillbillie's back yard... . Anyhow, a Willow Flycatcher was pretty cooperative for photos today. Other birds in the photo section: Yellow-breasted Chat, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and Prairie Warbler. Time for a road trip I guess.
