I’ve seen Yellow Warblers in the low shrubs of Western New York pastures, the river valleys of Missoula, and the trees of abandoned industrial sites in New York City. In North America, that is. They are not shy, not given to skulking in dense underbrush or retreating to the crowns of great trees.

Most troubling for me, because I think of them as my birds, is the abandoned nesting attempt by a pair of Pacific Loons. This pair first appeared four years ago, and are amongst the most northerly known breeding Pacific Loons in North America. Last years Rough-legged Hawk nestlings.
