In the pine-hardwood forests and their open understories, watch and listen for: the drum of the Pileated Woodpecker and Northern Flicker, the “here-kitty-kitty” call of the Bachman’s Sparrow, the buzzy trill of the Prairie Warbler, and the “bob-WHITE” whistle of the Northern Bobwhite quail. In summer, keep eyes to the skies to watch the dramatic and graceful soaring of the Swallow-tailed Kites.
