Yes, that is a bathing Blackburnian Warbler with a Canada Warbler photobombing. I thought this Swainson’s Thrush would make those suffering from wood-warbler-envy a little less sad. The eight or so other birders who were also enjoying the show were gobsmacked, flabbergasted, and just plain old amazed.

Those of you not living across a Great Lake from Canada may be suffering, but I’ve been absolutely loving this month! For me, nothing beats a hot, sunny summer, though you wouldn’t know it based on where I live. But this year has been different: days and days of high temps and bright sun.

This is advantageous for birders because instead of suffering warbler neck trying to identify birds high up in the treetops you can just bring a lawn chair and sit and wait for the birds to come to you. And on this past Saturday were the birds ever coming!

Some, like the Oleaginous Hemispingus , suffer all three flaws. The majority of people who have seen Canada Goose can’t say the same. If I had a dollar for every time I had to explain why Melanerpes carolinus is named Red-bellied Woodpecker , I’d be able to afford little brochures on the topic to pass out in the field.

But to her long-suffering husband Stan, the rest of the residents in ‘The Street’ and to the millions of television viewers, they were the epitome of cheap, tasteless, tat. 13, Coronation Street. Greatly loved by Hilda, she credits the ducks and her scenic wall, for keeping her ‘hand from the gas tap’ on her bad days.

This bird may have migrated down from Canada for all anybody knows (maybe more than once?), The condition this bird is suffering from is avian keratin disorder, I believe. and how it could have pulled off such a feat with such a major handicap is difficult to fathom.

My ABA list suffered from poor documentation, while keeping track of country, state, and county lists wasn’t even a viable option. The eBird interface allows a user to slice and dice lists and sightings in almost every way imaginable. One imagines that eBird has the potential to make a lister out of anyone.

But that is what happened on Tuesday evening and I had to suffer the email reports, pictures, and facebook status updates of New York State birders who were fortunate enough to see a Northern Wheatear , a bird I had never seen in North America, at the Croton Train Station in Westchester County.
