08 May 2013 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Weldon Springs CA Visitor Center, St. Charles County The Scissor-tailed Flycatchers were easy to see today (after I missed them earlier in the week). Park at the visitor center on Highway 94 which is near the huge rock pile known as Mt. Doom. Walk the path until you reach the gravel road which goes all the way around the rock pile. Walk counter clock-wise around the pile until you see a building on the back side. The birds I think are building a nest on a power pole next to the building. They are gone quite a bit to the woods to the east so be patient. Weldon Springs CA Blue Grosbeak Trail 10:00 AM -11:00 AM The only new arrival that I could find was a Yellow-breasted Chat. The Bell's Vireo was singing it's head off further down the trail opposite the first lake along the gravel road. A Northern Parula which seemed a little out of place was also singing along the gravel road. The Orchard Oriole pair seemed to have set up a territory near where the Bell's Vireo is located. `````````````````````````````````````````````` Dick Palmer 340 America Street Foristell, MO 63348-1163 [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------ The Audubon Society of Missouri's Wild Bird Discussion Forum ASM Spring Meeting: May 3-5 2013 in St. Joseph, MO Details and online registration at: http://www.mobirds.org/ASM/Meetings.aspx ABA Birding Code of Ethics http://www.aba.org/about/ethics.html
