On this bright sunny day I enjoyed the company of one birder as we sought out early moving birds. We did see our common birds as well as a wood pewee. I did not notice bluebirds which have been so common. The bird of the day was I believe a magnolia warbler. I used the warbler guide to identify a first year, fall female. This bird was a quick mover with lots of yellow on the throat and stomach. An eyer ring was distinctive and the wing bars made me lean toward the maggie identification. It was my first Magnolia at Grandvue.
The next scheduled outings will be the last two Saturdays in September for "warbler weekends". Hopefully we will have an abundance of warblers as difficult as they may be.
