S6E16 - The Edge of Heart's Content, Part 2

[00:00:05] Alright, gonna start walking towards the forest

[00:00:11] where this hermitthrush is

[00:00:14] Take a bit of this interpretive trail here

[00:00:25] Actually, stick look at the map

[00:00:37] See which trails

[00:00:40] There's two choices here

[00:00:43] It's the Song Sparrow here

[00:00:46] This ski trail

[00:01:05] isn't maintained for hiking

[00:01:06] Alright

[00:01:08] I'm continuing my exploration of the edge of Heart's content

[00:01:13] peaking into the old growth forest here

[00:01:15] to see which songbirds are on territory on the inside

[00:01:19] of this forest and meadow edge habitat

[00:01:31] Well that pine warbler

[00:01:33] might be back here

[00:01:36] There's an open bird

[00:01:37] I'm gonna walk back around to where I started because

[00:01:46] the birds have changed already

[00:01:50] My name is Rob

[00:01:51] and this is Songbirding

[00:02:21] The Pine Warbler

[00:02:33] See if I can get closer to this pine warbler

[00:02:47] Seems to be some arguing between red ivyry this year

[00:02:50] There we go

[00:02:57] Think it is to a cowbird leave

[00:03:05] Chipping sparrow

[00:03:07] There's a lot of chipping

[00:03:13] Oh, an American goldfinch here

[00:03:20] That'd be my first recording of one here

[00:03:23] I've seen them off the side of the road

[00:03:26] If I can get it to vocalize

[00:03:31] That's a busy bumblebee here

[00:04:28] I see a pair of goldfinches now

[00:04:46] It's now breeding season for them

[00:04:48] They're a little late

[00:04:51] They won't be really done till September

[00:04:58] Probably a little quieter right now because they may have nests around here

[00:05:03] You now want to give it away

[00:05:10] It's already a bright yellow bird, why be loud?

[00:05:18] It's just a soft potato chip

[00:05:23] Cull when they fly

[00:05:30] Now the sun's come above the trees

[00:05:33] This is getting a lot harder now

[00:05:38] V-Rio

[00:05:40] It's a red-eyed V-Rio

[00:05:47] Alright

[00:05:49] Let's walk to the interpretive trail

[00:05:58] It's not clear how long it is

[00:06:03] Actually, I should... Maybe the map does tell you

[00:06:28] Not only one mile

[00:06:43] Try and tell if that's a song sparrow

[00:06:46] Or a vesper sparrow

[00:06:48] Sounds like could be

[00:06:59] Need to go venting

[00:07:01] Not sure

[00:07:02] A lot of camp ticketees

[00:07:08] Bird of Warcler

[00:07:45] Scarlet Tanger here

[00:07:57] It's a blue-headed V-Rio here now too

[00:07:59] Our mystery singer has flown off

[00:08:27] I feel like it's an indigo bunting

[00:08:32] Just a more novel song

[00:08:35] Or at least novel to me kind of song

[00:08:38] Yeah, I now kind of hear how it's Firefirewareware

[00:08:46] Just different

[00:08:47] It's adding a few extra notes in

[00:08:52] Alright

[00:08:53] Some Myrtle Warbler

[00:09:19] Quite a few Myrtle Warblers here

[00:11:43] Okay, we're on the way to the end

[00:11:53] On the interpretive loop

[00:11:55] Which is probably not very long

[00:11:57] But I'd like to take just a quick

[00:12:01] Short walk through here

[00:12:09] It's got some very old trees in it

[00:12:15] Very thick canopy here

[00:12:21] Black-thorough Green Warbler

[00:12:32] Another Magnolia Warbler

[00:12:42] Very short

[00:12:44] Lazy song

[00:12:47] Ooh, there was an energetic one

[00:12:48] Black-thorough Green Warbler

[00:13:35] Wow, it's a lot of energy

[00:14:30] So there's long loop and short loop

[00:14:32] I don't know if I have enough time for long loop

[00:14:37] But short loop looks a little too short

[00:14:40] So we'll go a little bit into the long loop

[00:14:44] And then come back

[00:14:54] It's kind of like much how

[00:14:57] American Reds starts were everywhere

[00:14:59] In the Pine Tree Point, Johnson and Harbour area

[00:15:03] Seeming like Magnolia Warblers are everywhere here

[00:15:16] There's some very large white pine in here

[00:15:31] Oh, here we go

[00:15:33] Black-throated Blue Warbler

[00:15:40] Oh and it's here in front of me

[00:15:44] I think I see the females, well they're both here

[00:15:53] They have a little white triangle on their wing

[00:15:55] Both of them are male and female

[00:16:06] Male is doing a hummingbird like

[00:16:08] Action to catch bugs

[00:16:14] So hovering around hemlock bows

[00:17:35] Black-throated Blue just went behind a

[00:17:39] A log, I waited for it to come out and it didn't

[00:17:42] Look around the corner, it's gone

[00:17:46] Must have flown the length of the log

[00:17:49] Behind it and then flown off

[00:17:51] Without me noticing

[00:18:01] Interesting

[00:18:34] There it was again

[00:18:36] Beer, beer, beer, bee

[00:18:43] There is one huge white pine above all of them here

[00:19:13] It's also some very large hemlock

[00:19:16] I've never seen any this big

[00:19:29] A very large fallen hemlock ear too that they've labeled

[00:19:42] It's fallen but hasn't rotted out yet

[00:19:45] Probably been down for 20-30 years

[00:19:48] If the age of that sign is any indication

[00:19:52] Weed-a-weed-a-weed-io

[00:20:13] That's one of the songs of Mangolia Warbles

[00:20:17] We have a lot

[00:20:26] Also kind of like Red Star in that way

[00:20:31] A lot of short warbles

[00:25:39] I'm going to start turning back now

[00:25:42] Scarlet Tannager we're hearing as well

[00:26:02] Another white breastnut hatch

[00:26:24] Just kind of a variation on the call

[00:26:29] I wonder if it's involving calling its young or something like that

[00:26:35] Scarlet Tannager

[00:26:37] These are some pretty giant hemlocks here

[00:27:06] It's got to be hundreds of years old

[00:27:26] I just found a feather floating to the ground right now

[00:27:31] It's a big one too

[00:27:34] Maybe a hawk up there somewhere

[00:27:47] Blue-headed Urio

[00:27:48] Alright, going to move on to my next spot

[00:28:20] Oh, a spot through the blue again

[00:28:22] Oh, he's a nice lab one

[00:28:45] If I had more time I'd set down a recorder in front of him

[00:29:23] Common's Music from Chase and Shaw
