Here is a little more information on the Blue-winged Warbler found today at Welchester Tree Park. After walking the wooded trail and finding 4 Orange-crowned Warblers, 1 Wilson's Warbler, and a calling Dusky Flycatcher, I walked over to the eastern boundary of the park. This is the location were the Blue-winged Warbler was seen last year. Far to the NW I could here the buzzy call of the Blue-winged Warbler. I crossed the creek to the north and walked uphill to the boundary with the elementary school. I could hear the call but it was well to the east of this corner in private property. After pishing, the bird moved closer until he was in view. The bird continued to call but moved back to private property well to the east. This afternoon, Loch Kilpatrick refound the bird in last year's location. The park is just west of 8th and Simms. I feel very confident that this is last year's bird. This is the third time in very recent time a rare Blue-winged Warbler has been seen in the park. Is there a chance the bird is successful in his attempt to breed well east in private property? Why has no one seen a female if so? Why would a bird return without having success the year before? Is he hybridizing with a yellow? Who knows...Photos of the bird can be seen below: http://jaeger29.smugmug.com/BIRDS/RARE-AND-UNCOMMON-2015/i-FQTmBW7 Mark ChavezLakewood-Green Mtnhttp://jaeger29.smugmug.com/
