Jane & Pat Bell, Eddie Huber, and myself returned to the Melco flood retention
basin in southern Jefferson County this morning in hopes of getting better
looks at the Audubon's Warbler. After about 45 minutes of walking around the
area, we found the bird with a loose flock of Palm and Tennessee warblers and
then kept up with it off and on for much of the next hour. We got some great
looks at the bird, which actually has a yellower throat than I perceived
yesterday and it DOES have a very bright, yellow rump. Every time it flies, it
gives its distinctive call note. Eddie got a few photos that probably are only
going to show a "yellow-rumped" warbler. I have a few that will likely not be
good in my standard camera.
Before Eddie and I left, we had a few brief looks at the Clay-colored Sparrow
about 50 feet from the Audubon's! Today we again had two Marsh Wrens and I saw
a Blackpoll Warbler.
