About 24 hours of solid rain yesterday in Erie County, Pennsylvania = wet. All field operations cancelled, which is sad for early May/migration season. Nevertheless, moving on with recent mostly-warbler content, from a recent outing along the Canoe Portage & Duck Pond Trails at Presque Isle State Park. First up, great to finally see Common Yellowthroat (male) for the first time this spring:
Also great to get a better view of beautiful Nashville Warbler (probably male or immature). Note the yellow throat, gray head, and distinctive white eyering:
Unless otherwise noted, more shots of Common Yellowthroat x Nashville Warbler:
Cornell’s latest email feature warblers Tis the season….
Currently lots of warblers passing through Erie County. Viewability/sighting, however, is highly weather dependent. They seem to come through in waves if conditions are good (no/light rain, warmer temps).
