A Nashville Warbler was present in the garden adjacent to the Naturalist's residence at Westmoreland Sanctuary (Town of Bedford, Westchester County) this morning (Nov 4) at 8:25am. The bird was actively foraging in the inkberry shrubs, coneflower, goldenrod, and oakleaf hydrangea that are jutting through the few inches of snow that remain on the ground. It also flew to the exposed grassy area of the lawn and foraged through the many wet, matted leaves laying on the lawn. Also present was a large flock (150-200) of Juncos also actively foraging throughout the garden and lawn. All the birds retreated to the trees during a brief gust of wind accompanied by the alarm call of a Blue Jay. Good birding,Adam
