Saturday, 24 August, 2013, 0330 pm: I watched a female Black-throated Gray
Warbler foraging in Ashe juniper trees in NW Austin.
I got very good, close looks of this somewhat rare (for Central Texas) western
warbler. I was in a friend's (Paula Shaw) backyard casually imitating
an Eastern Screech Owl when this bird flew in. As this was a lifer for me, I
asked Paula to bring a book so I could check what
I recognized as a warbler unknown to me. We played call notes from her iPad
and the bird came back in and gave both of us definitive
looks at an unexpected migrant.
This was on private land in a gated community (Golf Vista Drive, River Place
Blvd, near the Overlook). Coordinates are 14R 0609886, 3360485 at 267m (~801
ft).
