September 20 Field Trip Report

     Five of us birded the south end of Hoffmaster State Park for a couple hours Saturday morning.  There were a few flurries of activity at a sassafras tree beside the picnic pavilion parking lot.  Swainson’s thrushes and several warbler species (including black-and-white, magnolia, and chestnut-sided) flitted around in its branches.

    All told we found 19 bird species including four woodpeckers (flicker, downy, hairy and red-bellied), both nuthatches, and a rose-breasted grosbeak before calling it a day.
