GABO

This week I camped on Cumberland Island for three days. These are the highlights:

Parulas and Yellow-thrtd warblers were most common and all were very busy feeding young. It looked like they had a good year nesting.

Many: gnatcatchers cardinals carolina wrens

Others: cowbirds (I would like to know what nests they parasitize) redwing blackbirds screech owl (in camp) grackles mockingbird

Over water: many white ibis pelicans cattle egrets 2 skimmers least tern colony at sea camp area (Is there any management of this colony to keep raccoons away from the nests?)

A few more but nothing out of the ordinary. No painted buntings.
