Dateline: 14 September 2024
Beautiful weekend at Presque Isle State Park: sunny, warm, dry; trails in good condition. Warbler/migratory activity has definitely ticked up (anecdotally) relative to recent past visits. Of note, lots of Yellow-billed Cuckoo activity as seen by BirdingPI.com staff along the Pine Tree Trail (PTT), + other reports on eBird elsewhere. Following shots from Saturday on the PTT of “other birds:”
