In addition to my regulars at the pond, this past week included several migratory species… a Nashville Warbler ( Oreothlypis ruficapilla ) and a Yellow Warbler ( Setophaga petechia )… a female Western Tanager ( Piranga ludoviciana )… and a real rarity in my yard, a Black-throated Gray Warbler ( Setophaga nigrescens ).

A late Nashville Warbler , an Orange-crowned Warbler , and a bunch of dabbling ducks were some of his top species. Some lakewatching at the Irondequot Bay Outlet was rewarded by my FOY Purple Sandpiper , a rather brown bird feeding on the rocks of the jetty. Corey saw some decent birds this weekend but nothing that really astounded.

Lots of warblers were found, including Grace’s, Nashville, Virginia, Red-faced, Hermit, Lucy’s and Wilson’s. This is the Nashville Warbler that we found while trying in vain to track down a reported Tri-color Heron. Here is that Red-necked Phalarope.

Those would be birds like Nashville, Black-throated Blue, Prairie, and Cape-May Warblers. In Costa Rica, those would be the wood-warblers that do a lot more wintering in the southern USA and the Caribbean than in southern Central America.

But it isn’t until late December that the Nashville and Black-throated Gray Warblers join the party, as well as Summer and Western Tanagers, and Warbling Vireos. A month or so later, they are joined by Hooded Orioles, Yellow-rumped ( Audubon ) and Orange-crowned Warblers , and at least one Northern House Wren.

The same can be said for my garden’s Black-throated Gray Warbler (last seen on February 24th), Orange-crowned Warblers (March 19th), Yellow-rumped Warbler (March 27th), and Nashville Warblers (April 7th). Although, oddly enough, my garden is currently hosting a MacGillivray’s Warbler on its way north. That is a garden first!

Nashville Warblers are quite common down here, but I did kind of like this one’s pose. I saw both Cassin’s and Plumbeous Vireos on this outing, so thanks, ABA, for the split! Pine Siskins are not all that common in my region, but I’m seeing lots of them this year.

I love Nashville Warblers from every angle. Not only do these species lack any special attachment to the areas in question, but Wilson earns extra demerits for mixing states and cities with a decidedly unscientific sloppiness. Instead, you’ll find it in thick deciduous woods.

Nashville Warbler Vermivora ruficapilla. Tanner’s Spring is its name and the small pool of water, really more of a large puddle, is a favorite place for New York City birders and bird photographers to get great looks at and images of a wide variety of birds coming in to bathe and drink.

By only driving four hours to the south, birders can easily double that figure with species like Cape May , Wilson’s , and Nashville Warbler – and there are always surprises such as a wintering Blue-winged or Hooded Warbler. Many visitors who come through Orlando or Tampa see maybe eight or ten species on a winter trip.

Birds that had been banded in Nashville, Tennessee. Apparently the Indians had been smoking out a massive dead tree in the rainforest to harvest the birds roosting inside, a practice centuries old, only to find, this time, tiny metal bands on their legs. And thus, the wintering grounds of the Chimney Swift were discovered.

On any given day I can count on seeing Wilson’s, Yellow-rumped (Audubon’s) , Nashville , and Orange-crowned Warblers. But in late spring, I could easily see two or three dozen in a single day, if I paid enough attention. In January, the showiest birds tend to be our migratory warblers.

Turning in the other direction to reach the Kim Williams Nature Trail, I was treated almost immediately to the most confiding Nashville Warbler I have ever met, a handsome male bird who landed on a branch just a few yards from my face to sing. The actual avian Ospreys were back in residence, calling loudly to each other.
