During Jim Egge's spring warbler walk at Murphy-Hanrehan this morning we heard then saw a cerulean warbler. I assume he'll post the details.
After the walk, a group of us (Diana Doyle, Laura Coble, Susan Plankis, Linda Whyte, and Matt Spalinski (as he said, "the other one-- not the one at TRC") continued on toward the hooded warbler area. After listening and looking for about an hour, we had a couple of great looks at the hooded warbler. It sang from near marker 13. Returning around 2:00, we saw what we believe was a Bell's vireo, just to the west of marker 11. It was very close to the path, a few feet up, in some thickets along a wetland area. Some of our collective comments and observations included: definitely a vireo but described by one person as "kinglet-like" because it was small and active, a weak eye ring, no supercilium, no spectacles, a thin "weak" wing bar but no a bold wing bars, very active: it moved continually in the wetland brush, one observer noted it bobbing its tail.
