I went out birding this morning with a MRVAC group led by Cheri Fox. Between 8am and noon we discovered 19 species of warblers. I think most people in the group saw between 13-16 of the 19.
Yellow-rumped Cape May (FOY) Black-throated Green Nashville Tennessee Black&White Magnolia (FOY) Common Yellowthroat Orange-crowned Ovenbird (FOY) Northern Parula Chestnut-sided (FOY) Golden-winged Blue-winged (FOY) Blackburnian American Redstart Yellow Palm Blackpoll (female) A Hooded warbler was heard but not seen, so I guess that makes a nice even 20 if you count birds unseen. Some other FOY's for me: Marsh and Sedge Wren, Eastern Kingbird, Philadelphia Vireo, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, On our way out after looking for the Hooded, we saw a Red-shouldered Hawk on the nest. Thanks to Cheri for leading the group. What a great morning. -Derek Bakken Minneapolis, MN www.flickr.com/photos/dobak ornitholature.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
