Trip Participants - Steven & Magdalena Easley and Wayne & Wanda Easley
May 23, 2008
Yesterday afternoon we birded for a couple of hours in the Lonetree WMA. A few warblers were still around, but a few new birds turned up as well. Philadelphia & Warbling Vireos showed nicely, but the highlight was a smashing Yellow-throated Vireo*.
Bobolinks* are seemingly everywhere in the deeper grass fields. One male in particular was very tame and I was able to get to within 30 ft. of him.
The Western Grebes* were also quite nice. They are beginning their courtship displays and all the pairs are sticking close together. Hopefully in the next week or so they will begin to dance on the open water. A single Clarke's Grebe was also seen.
Good birding, STEVEN
