Thank you, Spencer, for providing such a thorough record of warblers, especially fall warblers.

When I see those confusing little guys flitting about in the trees, I recall the story told by an ornithologist who was working with the native peoples of the Alaskan  arctic. When asked what their name for the female longspur, boogoostubiagach , meant, he was told "some damn little brown bird".

Subject: [UVB] More Warblers (14 sp)



Given the clear skies and sun this morning, I did not know what to 

expect for warblers, but again I was not disappointed.

I spent more time in the woods today, which may have accounted for some 

of the different warblers.

Highlights today included a molting male Tennessee, a Canada and a Wilson's.



The new additions bring our total for the week to 17 species!  The list 

below shows high counts for the week (4 days:  Tues, Wed, Fri, and today)



Can't wait to see what is here tomorrow morning,

Spencer Hardy
