Not a very good day to bird. It was sunny and beautiful, but strong winds blowing the trees around made hearing and seeing birds very difficult. While walking through the woods, I did hear the distinctive "teacher teacher teaCHER TEACHER TEACHER TEACHER" call of an Ovenbird off in the trees. I moved toward the singing warbler and soon had it in the bag. Ovenbird is year bird number 161, and my 17th species of warbler for the year.
No other new birds, although I did see another Kentucky Warbler. After seeing my very first Kentucky Warbler--a long-time nemesis bird-- the day before yesterday, I'll probably start seeing them everywhere now. Typical.
