Door County Seasonal Sightings/Local Occurrence 9/10/13 - 1 BROAD-WINGED HAWK (seen with binoculars after I stopped on 57 just south of Carlsville) - 1 hatch year/first year female YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER (Myrtle subspecies) (that I mention here only because it is likely one of the earliest migrants/transients of this common species in the large stampede to follow en masse) (seen at entrance way to Bjorklunden near Baileys Harbor) - 1 BLACKPOLL (seen in same spot as above) - 4 AMERICAN REDSTART (all males) heard/seen at Bay Shore County Park in s. Door Co. - 1 CASPIAN TERN seen at Bay Shore County Park in s. Door Co. * As summary notes for the 9-3 9-10-13 dates I birded in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Door Co., I detected 19 species of wood-warblers, with the most interesting being a WILSONs sighting on 9-8 in Door Co. because they do not nest in that county, a single GOLDEN-WINGED at Schlitz Audubon in Bayside on 9-4 because this Watch List species does not nest in Milwaukee Co., nor do the five MAGNOLIA I saw at the same spot on 9-3, 9-4, and 9-5. In addition, the frequently-seen TENNESSEE WARBLER that I viewed from 9-3 9-10 is absent as a breeder in all of the three previously mentioned counties where I saw it, so individuals of this species, likewise, were obviously transients in migration....as was the lone PALM I saw on 9-4 at the Forest Beach Migratory Preserve near Thiensville/Grafton. This species does not nest in Milwaukee Co., with its closest confirmed breeding area being n. WI.
