An early morning chilly and foggy hike produced a decent influx of migrant nesters like parulas(3),yellow-throated(4) ,Louisana watethrush(3),gnatcatchers this morn along the River and Grotpeter trails at Castlewood SP. 2 newly arrived BROAD-WING hawks were steamboat whistling away as the perched in a cottonwood tree Sad to report that it looks like one of the red-shoulder hawk nests along the river trail has been abandoned.Saw some fish crows picking through it this morn The surprise bird of the morning was a wild turkey.Although common along the Chubb Trail side of Castlewood SP turkeys are way scarce in the main section of the park due to higher pedestrain/bike/dog traffic - higher numbers of migrating kinglets and brown creepers - 2 singing hermit thrushes along the Grotpeter trail -Found a pair of nesting phoebes -Mike Brady [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
