Had a decent day in the yard with quite a bit of warbler movement but not a whole lot of variety. I was really excited to find a Brewster's Warbler in the mix! This is a first for me, and I had the adrenaline rush of a life bird (even though *technically* it isn't). Its underparts had extensive yellow, but it was very, very faint yellow. It wasn't really a textbook Brewster's, but of course there is quite a bit of variation. My guess is that it was a female/juvenile bird, but I don't have any knowledge on aging/sexing Brewster's. I did get a few poor pictures of the bird before it disappeared, so if anybody wants to take a look I'll be glad to email them. I thought it was pretty cool that there was also a female/juv Blue-winged and an adult male Golden-winged Warbler in the mix. Too bad there wasn't a Lawrence's! Highlights for the morning include: Great-crested Flycatcher - 1 Wood Thrush - 1 Swainson's Thrush - 1 Gray-cheeked Thrush - 1 Blue-winged Warbler 1 Brewster's Warbler (hybrid) 1 Golden-winged Warbler 1 Tennessee Warbler 6 Northern Parula 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 3 Magnolia Warbler 8 Black-throated Green Warbler 3 Pine Warbler 2 Black-and-white Warbler 2 American Redstart 3 Common Yellowthroat 2 Hooded Warbler 1 Scarlet Tanager - 1 Baltimore Oriole - 1 Good Birding! -- David Hollie Ringgold, GA Catoosa Co. http://www.flickr.com/photos/featherbrain1223/ =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
