A good morning banding at the Canon River Wilderness area in Rice Co.: 3 Canada Warblers 2 Black-and-White Warblers 2 Nashville Warblers 2 Tennessee Warblers 1 Golden-winged Warbler 4 Ovenbirds 1 Northern Waterthrush
Photos (new species from the last couple of days): Nashville Warbler http://www.northern.edu/tallmand/dat/warblers/nawa.jpg Tennessee Warbler http://www.northern.edu/tallmand/dat/warblers/tewa33.jpg I got kind of excited when I caught the Golden-winged Warbler. This is a species I did not catch many of in my old haunts in South Dakota. Notice the yellowish wash on this bird's breast--a Lawrence's Warbler??? It would appear from Dunn and Garrett's "Warblers" (in the Peterson Series) that a Lawrence's ought to be brighter still, even in the fall, and Golden-winged Warblers can have a yellowish tinge to them. http://www.northern.edu/tallmand/dat/misc/gwwa.jpg I never know which listserv to use. My impression is that MOU gets the serious ornithology/very noteworthy records or questions (hence the golden-winged photo). MN bird gets the general birding, not necessarily noteworthy but interesting records. Finally, our Ricebird listserv gets general local records that others probably would be too interested in. Am I mistaken? Or are the MOU and MN listservs redundant? dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman http://danerika.googlepages.com/home danerika at gmail.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
