The bird walk at Silver Mines (Madison Co), held this past Saturday, turned up a few good species including: pied-billed grebe snow goose osprey bald eagles (1 mature & 1 immature) broadwing hawks (4 birds, displaying & calling) chimney swift great-crested flycatcher n. rough winged swallow cliff swallows (nesting) ruby-crowned kinglet red-eyed vireo northern parula yellow-thr warbler pine warbler Highlights included watching a bald eagle chase a snow goose (unsuccessfully), and finding a phoebe on her nest. A stop at a nearby great blue heron rookery found at least 7 of the 17 nests (that could be seen) occupied.
