Ann Mitchell & I were at the Hawthorns from 7:30 to 10:30am. We missed the Philadelphia Vireos and Cape May Warbler, much to Ann's disappointment, and the Magnolia Warblers, but we did hear and see CANADA WARBLER and see YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER and BAY-BREASTED WARBLER in the middle and hear (and Ann saw) WILSON'S WARBLER in the south central hawthorns. We also heard a WOOD THRUSH and saw a BROWN THRASHER among others.
The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was silent and briefly seen but beautiful and easy to ID: all yellowish green with more green above and more yellow below and no gray/white anywhere nor any contrast at edges of throat. Even the complete eye-ring and double wingbars were yellow instead of white. --Dave Nutter On May 20, 2014, at 11:27 AM, Anne Marie Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > We were at Hawthorn from 8:00 until 9:30 this morning.
