Chazzy and I decided to hike up Caney Island Branch here in Buchanan County this morning. Rain was in the forecast but after looking at the weather radar we figured we had a few hours before it got here. Warblers were out in good numbers and we had 14 different species along the way. The bird of the day would have to be my first Kentucky Warbler of 2009 - a brightly colored male singing from a shrub not 25 feet from me. Of course a close second would be the Cerulean Warbler singing from a limb over the road. During the hike I heard at least 6 Kentucky and 4 Ceruleans. Other warblers included Yellow, Parula, Ovenbird, Yellow-throated, Blue-winged, Hooded, Redstart, Worm-eating, Black-and-white, Chat, Black-throated Green, and Louisiana Waterthrush. We missed the C. Yellowthroat but I was fairly certain I heard a distant Swainson's Warbler down in Mike's Branch. Other migrants put on a good showing with Indigo Bunting, my FOS RB-Grosbeaks, Scarlet Tanager, BG-Gnatcatchers, Wood Thrush, BH-Vireo, RE-Vireo, and YT-Vireo. Chazzy also located several Wild Turkey along the way. A pair of GB-Herons were flying up the Levisa River as we got back to the truck - and then it started to rain.
