As far as I could tell all of the folks present at the Golden-crowned Warbler site (about 22 by my count) were graced with good views. I got there about 9:15am and left at 4:20pm. The bird last showed itself at around 2:45pm. It was always in the chokecherries teaming with insects on the west side of the road at the north end of the farmstead. Never have I observed a rare bird site that included a working crop duster plane (taxiing, reloading and roaring back in the sky) within 50 meters of the bird's feeding area. What are the odds it showed up? What are the odds Glenn laid eyes on it? Astronomical. Phenomenal.
Some of us were wondering out loud how long it will stay. My guess, which is a total guess, would be as long as those chokecherry shrubs have flowers to attract flying insects - about 3-5 hot and dry days?
