8:00 pm 'Wicka-Wicka-Wicka'

Dick and Roger came out to the house after discovery stations. Saw the pileated woodpecker and his latest wood chips from the deck. I sat on the deck after dinner, listening to the evening chorus. The pileated had moved away and was calling 'wicka-wicka-wicka'. Frogs called to each other from at least 4 different nnearby trees. Perhaps Cope's Gray Tree Frog. Saw a scarlet tanager and blue-gray gnatcatcher. Also a quite vocal Carolina wren. Earlier, down the drive I saw indigo bunting and bluebird. A turkey hen caught sight of me from across the drive and scattered for the woods. The same one?
