Today I finally got my first migrant of the season, and a very surprising one too. This morning started out slow, everything was perfect for some warblers, plenty of Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and vireos (Red-eyed and White-eyed), but not a single warbler around (except for Common Yellowthroats). After about half an hour of waiting, a small brown bird popped up and started flitting around with the titmice and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers. After about a minute of observing its under belly, it finally turned its head so I could see the distinct median and lateral crown stripes, it was a Worm-eating Warbler! Worm-eating Warbler makes Yard Bird #145!!! Good Birding!!
