at PEPt last Friday (sometimes a sign that warbler migration is o

Today at approximately 2:30pm, I viewed a warbler, brought to my attention by a
fellow birder, that I could not positively identify after getting clear looks
at a distance of 15-30 feet for 5 minutes. The birder who brought it to my
attention indicated he viewed it for a much longer period. A th

Good birding!

Today, Terrie Smith and I did our second Grassland Survey at Carden. We started
the day at dawn at the Sedge Wren Marsh on Wylie Road, and heard lots of Sora
and Virginia Rails, but no Yellows. There were several singing Sedge Wrens,
many Upland Sandpipers and one Alder Flycatcher. Also on Wylie
I spent a few hrs at the Bay today. Two male scarlet tanagers were present

Hi,
I was birding yesterday afternoon & was stunned to find an adult American

quite a display of resting, preening & feeding. On a
