The Palm Warbler found yesterday on the Buffalo CBC by Betsy Potter, Vicki and Wille D'Anna and company was present today just south of the control gates south of the falls this morning about 10:15 a.m.. The bird was tucked in along the edge of the bank south of the guard rail and then when we left was associating with a group of chickadees that were in the pines next to the building where the control gate is.
It is interesting to note that this is the eastern subspecies "yellow" palm warbler Thanks to Betsy for an excellent find and for Willie for letting us know!!! Happy Holidays, Cheryl Edgecombe Directions: Follow QEW Niagara to the 420 and into Niagara Falls. Go south along the Niagara Parkway past the Horseshoe Falls, past the Dufferin Islands Nature Park and just past the control gates where you will see a turn off on the left hand side. The bird was here on the south side of the control gates. Have patience, this bird was hunkered into the side of the bank for a while before it flew out and came to feed with the chickadees.
