I would estimate over 1,000 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS based on 15-20 birds (conservatively) every 100 feet for 1.7 trail miles. They were all over everything and everywhere. Dottie Johnson and I went back after breakfast and added a few more species, including BROAD-WINGED HAWK. After she left, I found an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. Here's my edited list for the day: Location: Pheasant Branch Observation date: 4/23/11 Number of species: 60 Wood Duck Blue-winged Teal Turkey Vulture Cooper's Hawk Broad-winged Hawk Red-tailed Hawk Bonaparte's Gull Belted Kingfisher Northern Flicker Eastern Phoebe Northern Rough-winged Swallow Tree Swallow Barn Swallow Tufted Titmouse Brown Creeper House Wren Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Golden-crowned Kinglet Ruby-crowned Kinglet Hermit Thrush Orange-crowned Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Pine Warbler Northern Waterthrush American Tree Sparrow Chipping Sparrow Field Sparrow Savannah Sparrow Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Purple Finch Mike McDowell Madison - Dane County www.birddigiscoper.com www.pheasantbranch.org www.facebook.com/mmcdowell Hello, Started off this morning at Pheasant Branch and had a nice walk with Mike, Dottie, and Charles. One Pine Warbler, one No. Waterthrush, and literally hundreds of Yellow-rumps - more than I've ever seen in one place. I'm sure Mike will post the entire list.
