Folks: There is a singing Brewster's Warbler (Blue Winged Song), in Hay swamp just west of Exeter. Go west on county 83 out of Exeter and turn right on the second concession road. This is the road to the town dump. On the right hand side there is a chain link fence and the bird is singing on territory at the far end of the chain link fence. The bird can be heard and seen from the road. There are two other calls in the near vicinity. One a Blue Winged call and the other a Golden Winged call, but could not get on either of those two birds. (Can hybrids do both calls??) The bird that was seen had the white throat but a beautiful pale yellow wash to the upper breast. The golden wing bars were almost solid with only the slightest amount of grey between the two golden bars. Also of note, there were two Common Loons on the Exeter lagoons this morning, but they had flown off to the northeast before I left the property. Nice birds on a very nice day...
