Daryl and all-
Can you say whether this bird was a hatch year or an adult individual? I
ask, because on a night-listening list serve I follow, a recordist in NY
has just started noting B&Ws in NY. However, he also has noted a "steady
stream" of B&W warbler night flight notes over Texas for the last THREE
WEEKS. I'll ask him what he thinks of this, but I wonder if the difference
is the adults vs. hatch year birds, with the adults getting out now and the
immatures needing more time to stock up on fat. Any of those migrant bird
biologists out there have comments?
