I finally saw the Prairie Warbler at 12:45 today on the dead tree at the NE end of his territory. After spending two hours last night and a half hour today, I had only heard him until he came out after a brief period of rain. I'd been hearing him, but he stayed pretty well hidden. After talking to several other folks who observed the bird, it seems he may be getting skittish with so much company. I saw him head on, but was able to observe the rufous on the nape of his neck as he preened. The facial markings are so striking on this bird! I stopped by Cliff Fenn Park and heard the Bell's Vireo in the traditional spot.
