Panoram Loop
April
27th
Unfortunately, Ann was sick during the
night, so she and Howard weren’t able to go birding with us today. She seems to be feeling somewhat better now. Mike and I went out alone and drove the Panoram
Loop in the Shawnee State Forest. This
route is recommended for birders and was good habitat for warblers etc. We had just turned off the main road, got out
of the car and soaring above us was a Broad-winged Hawk. This was a hawk we had been hoping to see so
we were happy.
As we drove the loop, we got some better looks
at some of the warblers we had seen earlier.
We also heard a Pine Warbler and saw an Indigo Bunting which were new
birds for the year. We’ll be heading
home tomorrow after a nice trip but wish Ann and Howard could have been with us
today. (3 new species, total 209)
