This morning at the Britannia Conservation Area Mud Lake, I came across a single female NORTHERN PARULA to the west of the main entrance on Cassels Road. Further into the forest, there was a WILSON'S WARBLER that was quite vocal, although I couldn't make a visual. Along the ridge and near the entrance there was a warbler singing, but I couldn't be sure of the song, and I didn't manage to find the bird. I suspect it was a TENNESSEE WARBLER - the song was comprised of three sets of a single note, repeated three to four times, with a faster tempo with each set: dee...dee...dee , dee..dee..dee, dee-dee-dee-dee. I apologize for my lyrical skills, but if anyone can properly ID this song, and the bird along with it, I would appreciate a private email, just to confirm. If I locate the bird the next time I'm out there, I'll be sure to update this post.
Thanks in advance and good birding!
