[obol] Smith and Bybee

[Trask Colby]

Started out somewhat nice outside, before slowly turning to pouring down
rain, but the day yielded some nice results.

Started off with a very dark Fox Sparrow and chasing 4 Northern Flickers
down the trail. The first pond had Wood Ducks and many Mallards, with a
Kingfisher and many Robins flying across the lake, and a Red Tail on a snag.
The meadow before the lake with the blind (I don't which is which) had a
Common Yellowthroat, Song Sparrow, Golden Crowned Sparrow, Barn and Tree
Swallows. Out on the lake were many Pied-Billed Grebes, Great Blue Herons
and Great Egrets. 3 Greater Yellowlegs were in the mud. A calling and then
flying Bald Eagle was a great sight, only to be followed up not a minute
later by a Peregrine Falcon that hung around for a while for some great
looks. Now what was most interesting was a small warbler flock by the blind,
that i believe contained O.C. Warblers, and 1 female Black and White
Warbler. I looked carefully for a yellow dot by the eye, and there was none,
and I was surprised at how the belly and neck were completely white. Though
I didn't have my bird book on me at the time, I've now searched both
Sibley's and National Geographic and believe it to be a B&W Warbler. Maybe
someone else will relocate it.
