Good afternoon, Yesterday, I had 10 warblers between the South Padre Island
Valley Land Fund Sheepshead woodlots and the Convention Center. Best warbler
was Worm-eating, but most interesting was a first fall female Nashville Warbler
that bore a striking resemblance to Virginia's Warbler. Try as I might, I could
not turn the bird into the latter species. The underparts seemed good for
Virginia's but there was no hiding the olive green wing coverts and flight
feather edges. A few images of the bird can be seen at the link below. The bird
preferred the SW corner between the boardwalk and the wooden benches.
