Yesterday (Memorial Day) Les and I watched and listened to a BLACKPOLL
WARBLER in one of our spruce trees for six hours, from 9 a.m. to 3
P.M... Since the tree was 40+ feet tall and the warbler stayed in the
upper six feet or so, we were never able to get a photo. I was in high
hopes that it would be here again today, and perhaps we could get a
photo today. But, alas, I have neither heard nor seen any signs of it
today and think perhaps it has moved on. We were 100% positive about the
song being that of a Blackpoll and 99% sure about the visual ID. Field
marks which we definitely recorded were: black cap, streaked flanks,
short thin bill, strong white wing bars. It sang continuously and flew
in and out of the dense new growth on the tree.
Cheers,
