This morning at about 8:15, Nolan Pope and I were walking at a very
quiet Pheasant Branch when we met up with a couple of birders who
told us they had a brief glimpse of a PRAIRIE WARBLER. We looked
around for about 5 minutes, when they found it again. We all got very
clear views of it from about 20 feet away. A few minutes later, I was
watching a Palm Warbler fly into some brush, where it was chased away
away by a male Black-Throated Blue. A few minutes after that, Mike
McDowell and Jesse Peterson came along and also got good looks at
both birds. Then, we all got our phones out and started a phone tree
going. Over the next couple of hours, a number of birders got fine,
close views in full sunlight of both birds, along with Pine,
Nashville, and Palm Warblers, and both Watherthrushes, all at the
same spot just east of the Parmenter St. bridge.
My warbler list for this morning at Pheasant Branch:
Black Throated Green
Black Throated Blue
Pine
Prairie
Palm
Nashville
Black and White
Yellow
Yellow-Rump
Blackburnian
Redstart
Common Yellowthroat
Louisisna Waterthrush
Northern Waterthrush
Mike and Jesse also saw Orange-Crowned and Blackpoll Warblers. Other
nice sightings included Blue-Headed and Warbling Vireos, and FOY
Catbirds.
