I'm back!! Today I was luck enough to get out and go birding during this Covid-19 situation to see Connecticut's First Ever record of Townsend's Warbler, a very overdue bird.
Overview:
First of all this bird was seen at the Cedar Hill Cemetery, never thought I would bird at a cemetery!! Anyway, we parked the car near the entrance and walked to where this mega rare warbler is. So we get there, now one has seen the bird in a half an hour, lets get to the good part. One of the birders spots two Barred Owls over two birders head in the hemlock. It gave us great views and photos. While everyone is looking at the owls at look at the hemlock the warbler has been seen, there was a little yellow fast small bird in the tree, and it was a warbler! I immediately alerted the other birders, one said it was a Pine Warbler... But nope it was the TOWNSEND'S WARBLER!!! I was so happy to re-find it for everyone!! Then the cameras started shuttering and the bincos went up. It flew off 5 minutes later. While walking back to the car these two male Red-winged Blackbirds were displaying giving me great photos of them!!
