Hi All, I led a trip to the Roy Park Preserve this morning for a Spring Ornithology local trip. This was basically a warbler trip. The first one we encountered was a male Prairie Warbler. He showed himself and sang for us. We saw a Canada Warbler singing from the bottom of the gorge (thanks, Peter). Usually, I hear and see a Louisiana Waterthrush from there, but not today. We did hear one from another river feeding into Six-mile Creek. We had great looks at a Black-throated Green Warbler, actually male and female. Common Yellow-throats were everywhere. Yellow Warblers were seen or heard. I did hear a bird song when we first entered the preserve. It had a Golden-winged Warbler song. I searched in vain for that bird. We listened to it on my Ipod. On the way back to the car, we actually saw the bird. It was a Blue-winged Warbler! It had to have been a hybrid. We all enjoyed that. We also saw Magnolia and Chestnut-sided Warblers while hunting for the Blue-Golden-winged Warbler plus Scarlet Tanagers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Bobolinks, Eastern Towhees, and Turkeys were also heard. Someone in the group heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Wish we all had heard it. What a morning! Best, Ann Mitchell
