Rob Fanning Report 042709
April 27, 2009
Rob sez:
A very early BLACKPOLL was hanging out at the Point/Warden's watch
this morning. My first April record. My previous early date for the CF
was 5/1 (twice) I later heard another near the B-fly garden (possibly 2
more) It was pretty bizarre listening to a Blackpoll and Nashville
singing while a Siskin flew overhead!
Another new early arrival
was a singing CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER right at the Greenway entrance. My
previous early CF date was 4/30.
Fred and Charley "Cuckoo" West heard a WOOD THRUSH. This is the 2nd earlist arrival date for the CF.
9 Warbler species in all--including BLUE-WINGED and my first NASHVILLE of the year. Warbling Vireos and Yellow Warblers have invaded and taken over the farm. A great morning to be out.
