Just a few notes from Pheasant Branch Conservancy in 2009...

I observed 31 warbler species at the conservancy this year:

Blue-winged Warbler, Golden-winged Warbler, Tennessee Warbler,
Orange-crowned Warbler, Nashville Warbler, Northern Parula, Yellow Warbler,
Chestnut-sided Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Black-throated
Blue Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler,
Blackburnian Warbler, Pine Warbler, Palm Warbler, Bay-breasted Warbler,
Blackpoll Warbler, Cerulean Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, American
Redstart, Prothonotary Warbler, Worm-eating Warbler, Ovenbird, Northern
Waterthrush, Louisiana Waterthrush, Mourning Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, 
Hooded Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, and Canada Warbler.

I tallied 15,244 individual birds into eBird from 76 checklists.

Pheasant Branch's eBird bird species count is now up to 209.

A Pheasant Branch SEDGE WREN helped me become one of the winners in
Swarovski's 2009 Digiscoper of the Year Contest:
