Restoked by the prospect of an easy Yellow-throated Warbler chase, I went out to Varna this afternoon. First I saw the warbler, just where Sydney reported it. Then I beat the FLLT SBQ buzzer with a visit to the Parke-Dabes Natural Area, just east of Monkey Run and the Antlers along Route 366. I was hoping for Black-throated Blue Warbler and Hooded Warbler, which have bred here in recent years. I didn't find them. I did, however, find an unexpected BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER, some American Redstarts, an Ovenbird, and many Red-eyed Vireos.
