Wonderland?

Not quite a warbler ‘wonderland’ last weekend, but the activity’s picking up; current BirdingPI.com “September warbler count” = 9 species.

These are recent sightings at Presque Isle State Park. First up, following’s likely all Cape May Warbler along the Pine Tree Trail; anecdotally, unusual amount of CMW activity this year.

Another surprise, great to see this beautiful female Tennessee Warbler:

Moving away from Pine Tree Trail, here’s a Wilson’s Warbler (m) by Leo’s Landing:

Finally for this post, a low-light shot of female Common Yellowthroat near Marina Lake:

On a cloudy Friday, the Erie County forecast calls for continued cloudy conditions over the weekend. Happy birding nevertheless!
