After learning from friends that they had observed a Y-b Chat on Saturday
afternoon and Sunday morning, Dick Rengstorf and I headed over there yesterday
morning. We didn't get the earliest start and ended up waiting for the bird 1?
hours
before it appeared briefly, with vocalization, at 11:30 A.M. I am told this
bird has
been around for some weeks. I would like to encourage all to share with others
unusual birds found on public lands by either posting on the listserve or
contacting
someone that will. I do realize that this is occurring the majority of the
time.
DIRECTIONS. Turn right at the "T" just past the park entrance building and
shortly
turn right again on the dirt road to the athletic fields. Park here and walk
the
dirt road(Wetland Trail) west about ? mile. The Chat usually frequents the
north
side of the road in the stretch from the small elm tree overhanging the road to
the
bend in the road toward the southwest.
As for the two Hooded Warblers, we weren't interested in pursuing those
so I
don't have specific directions. I do know that they are farther west of the
Chat
spot somewhere along the Woodland Edge Trail.
