[nysbirds-l] Virginia's Warbler in Maryland
There's been a Virginia's Warbler in Maryland - and what is especially intriguing is that the Virginia's may well have arrived in a like time- frame that the Nassau County (NY) Grace's Warbler did... or at any rate possibly around the same time period - see the MD list for a first report... which mentions when their western warbler was likely first found. So where is Lucy's? (Perhaps the least likely of W. "lady-warblers" to stray east very far). http://home.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1202C=MDOSPREY===8939 In more local bird news, the Rufous Hummingbird at Manhattan (New York City's) American Museum of Natural History's West 81 Street "planetarium" entry area plantings was there again today. And an Eastern Phoebe recently seen in Van Cortlandt Park, The Bronx was not nearly the only one being noted in the region, with a few being reported well north and a bunch from just north of the old south, that is into the greater D. of C. area, a.k.a. the U.S. of A.'s capitol district.
