Title: Cerulean Warbler @ Mount Pleasant Cemetery
Post by: Bluffs Birder on April 29, 2012, 08:41:10 AM

There is a Cerulean Warbler singing and giving good views at Mount Pleasant Cemetery this morning.  Anyone interested should check reports on ONTBIRDS for details.

i took part in the hunt. it was tracked at 10ish and was really high up.
but yeah, this, so far, has been a strange spring migration. not a hell of a lot to see, but then you get an oddball like this.

We saw one of these in Pelee last Spring.  The little guy had people running for him.  Beautiful bird!

I need to visit Mt. Pleasant cemetery this Spring.

This afternoon at roughly 5:00 PM after about 30 minutes of searching, myself and several others finally saw the little gem in a big ol' tree in the center of plot 18.

A big 'thankyou' to the gentleman and his family who actually found the bird and pointed it out to the rest of us, sorry I didn't get your name.

I was at Mount Pleasant this morning, no Cerulean, but a few other warblers (Nashville, Blackburnian, Black-and-white and Yellow-rumped). Also a female Baltimore Oriole and a few White-crowned Sparrows.

I was there for a short time this morning as well. No cerulean or blackburnian, but otherwise saw what you did. Can also add palm, black throated blue, black throated green warblers, blue headed vireo, and one pair of rose breasted grosbeaks.
