This morning at about 8:30 we ran into Dotti Russell in the woods behind Lamar Community College, where she said that she thought she had seen A Mourning Warbler near the north end. Dotti was right! The bird was nearer to the north end, mostly skulking around in the wet scrubby undergrowth. Jane Stulp, Dan and I were all able to get diagnostic views of the bird, but full views were to scarce to come by, and photos couldn't be obtained. The bird spent most of its' time associating with a loose flock that included Yellow Warblers and Common Yellowthroats. Thanks, Dotti!
The Great Crested Flycatcher previously reported by Brandon Percival et. al. was whooping it up in the south end of the woods, calling and eating slow moving bugs in the snow dusted environs. In the afternoon at the Meredith Feedlot ponds (Crowley county), 4 Dunlins in breeding plumage were present, as well as Stilt Sandpipers, Red-necked Phalaropes, and a few other expected migratory shorebirds, as well as a handful of Franklin's Gulls.
