I saw two life birds yesterday in the Lexington suburbs. The first was a
beautiful male black-throated blue warbler. I'd tried to see one of these for
years without success, but yesterday one approached me so close I didn't even
need binoculars to identify it!
I also saw an olive-sided flycatcher, which was an unexpectedly easy ID for a
flycatcher because of the obvious white tufts of feathers sticking out the
back, and they do indeed have noticeably big heads and short tails.
A nice Saturday!
