Fellow birders,
While going for my morning hike just after daylight I came upon a tree with
several birds. When I got my binoculars on one it turned out to be a male
Golden-winged Warbler in very bright plumage with striking colors. Within
seconds a Worm-eating Warbler had landed on the same branch and the two
faced off, with bills open and heads and wings lowered. The intimidating
sounds lasted for a few seconds, then the Golden-winged gave way and left
the tree with the Worm-eating in hot pursuit. I think that's the first time
I've ever seen those two species in the same tree.
Interesting.
