Every morning since this past Monday, I’ve been seeing between 9 and 15 warbler species when birding my property. The most I’ve had since I moved here 5 short years ago. All were in a mixed foraging flock that also usually included multiple Red-eyed Vireos, a Philadelphia Vireo, as well as the usual Black-capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse and White-breasted Nuthatches. But in this morning’s walk I came across a Brewster’s (Blue-winged/Golden-winged hybrid) mixed in with the other warblers. I was able to get some half descent photos of it and included them in my eBird list. The bird matched the image of a Brewster’s adult male in Sibley’s app for IOS devices.
I’d love to share my list/photos with the CBC folks, but don’t know how to just include the link in a regular email. I’m open for suggestions. I have a feeling that the wind direction will change tonight and may take away most of these migrants.
