My friend Nathan Johnson and I went exploring on the same railroad tracks that the famous artist, Charles E. Burchfield spent a lot of time enjoying birds and nature on in his lifetime out in West Seneca. It looks like he really knew his stuff because the place was a virtual smorgasbord of passerines. We were greeted by an actively singing Indigo Bunting right as we started our walk, and the birds never stopped coming. We saw Cedar Waxwings, Great Crested Flycatcher, 3 types of Swallow, Yellow Warbler, Eastern Towhee, and Red-tailed Hawk fledglings as some of our highlights. I've also included my best picture yet of a Virginia Rail, and the last sighting of the Great Horned Owl fledgling from my birthday on the 18th of June.
