Today, Rose and I met my dad at Greenbelt Lake to do some birding. We found a female B.T.B. Warbler. My dad, spotted a bird moving low about 3-4 feet high in some thick understory, near the edge of the woods. We waited to get a better look, once we got a better look at the bird, we could see the distinctive white spot on the wings and confirmed it to be a female B.T.B. Warbler! It was a great morning for warblers, as we found 19 species in all. Other noteables were: 2 Bay-Breasted W. 1 Mourning W. 4 Golden-Winged W. 1 Black-Throated Green W. 3 Cananda W. 2 Red-Breasted Nuthatches 1 R.S. Hawk 2 Yellow-Bellied Flycatchers 3 Olive-Sided Flycatchers
