Re: [nysbirds-l] pics/vid of amazing fallout in Texas
All, The unanimous consensus from several observers is that the warbler is indeed a Swainson's. I'm sure I've never seen a video of one before; perhaps others have. BTW at 6:00 minutes into the video is a nice clip of a warbler we see more often in the greater NY City area, but seldom do we look down upon it. I know I never have.

Oh, and I did want to say that the Yellow-Crowned Night Herons have returned to Linwood Ave. in Cedarhurst. Any nests that survived Sandy are already occupied, with other birds building new nests. The nest-building is quite a laborious process. I was witness to one pair's laying down of the first twig. The female waits at the chosen spot while the male goes scavanging for an appropriate twig which he breaks off from a branch (often with difficulty). He takes the twig back to his mate who takes it from him and lays it down just so adjusting as necessary (sometimes the twig falls to the ground and they have to start all over). This is followed by mutual preening, displaying and a long rest before the male goes off in search of the next twig. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
