S6E9 - Hector Falls Forestry Road, Part 2

[00:00:00] So it stopped in a different habitat here.

[00:00:10] Slightly different.

[00:00:11] There's been some clearing done here, I don't know why, because maybe trees have just been

[00:00:16] thinned out.

[00:00:17] I mean, there's still trees standing here.

[00:00:18] It wasn't logged completely, but maybe just logged somewhat.

[00:00:22] A lot of dead branches here though, remaining from

[00:00:26] that operation, whatever it was.

[00:00:34] And there's this hermit thrush singing. So I'm gonna set down the recorder so we can listen to this bird for a bit since it's nice and clear. I'm going to go to the beach. So My name is Rob, and this is Sewan Birding. I'm going to add to our list another Hermit Thrush.

[00:02:56] A couple more red eyed Vireos.

[00:03:03] Downy Woodpecker.

[00:03:04] They did here as well.

[00:03:07] Blackthirded Greenwardler.

[00:03:12] Downie Woodpecker.

[00:03:47] It's an oven bird. Okay, let's go further down this road. So I'm near the end of this specific road, or the beginning of it, but a near perspective.

[00:04:12] Just as I stopped here I was hearing Scarlett Tannage singing.

[00:04:22] There we go. And I've got a Darkai Junko flying around.

[00:04:27] I think this is the first place where I've gotten Darkai Junko and Scarlet Tanager together. Another vario.

[00:04:47] Sounds like a red-eyed.

[00:04:55] Oh, there was a brown creeper focalization.

[00:05:07] Chickety as well too.

[00:05:12] Distant crow.

[00:05:15] So the scarlet tanager sounds similar to robin just with a more sore throat quality to it more dissonance So Somebody in a warbler doing some buzzing in other vocalizations.

[00:06:17] Not really song. I wonder what that is. We're going to go to the next one. I'm looking at a dark-eyed junco right in front of me.

[00:07:42] It's this slate-colored subspecies.

[00:07:46] They used to be just called slate-colored junco.

[00:07:55] Basically the birds here that would be breeding here

[00:07:59] probably travel

[00:08:02] further south, but not by much, to hang out in backyards and feeders and scrubby areas, Pretty quiet here overall though.

[00:08:34] We're now approaching 10 a.m. So, four and a half hours since sunrise.

[00:08:47] So it's going to be a little quieter.

[00:08:53] Just saw a fritillary laying nearby, a butterfly.

[00:08:57] Two of them now. We'll see you next time. Oh, Scarlet T it is again. So these radiuburias are likely to sing throughout the day, taking a few breaks here and there,

[00:10:18] but... I'm very lucky today.

[00:10:42] There is no wind at all. Usually that means you're gonna get assaulted by

[00:10:50] bugs, but I'm not. There we go, an oven bird. It's another kind of warbler named

[00:11:00] after the oven-shaped nests they make on the beach. We're going to go to you next time. So it's buzzing. So this buzzing and bleeding bird, more than likely a black foot of green.

[00:13:17] I'm not 100% sure.

[00:13:24] Hard to see it. Just getting the shadow of it as it flew over.

[00:13:31] What? Hermit Thrush here again?

[00:13:36] Black-loaded green warblers. Scarlet Tanager. Some good birds on this road. I'm gonna add run around and run around. So I've got about 17 species along this road.

[00:14:39] Nothing new in this spot in particular, other than being able to hear the scarlet tanager much more clearly. So So Songbirding, the Allegheny National Forest, is a Songbirding Studios production and was
