Sorry about the mistake--let's try again.
My mother and I visited Sharp's Ridge today-4/23 from ~8:00-12:15. Had a good
day w/ some FOS birds and an unexpected lifer--BREWSTER'S WARBLER. It was at
the pulloff after the gazebo. We both saw a bird w/ white underparts--Mom moved
on but I stayed w/ it. When it came lower I briefly saw a yellow cap, black
line through the eye, yellowish wing-bars, and blue-gray back/wings. It made a
3-note buzz as I recall. I called Mom over but she only saw it flying away to
the east. It flew in the direction of 2 other birders--one said he thought he
heard a Golden-Winged-like voice but they didn't see it. Another highlight was
a very close, long look at a beautiful BARRED OWL in a pine overhanging the
road east of the pulloffs around the gazebo. Below is a partial list.
