Title: Hooded and Prothonotary warblers
Post by: Whittam on June 15, 2012, 07:07:20 AM

Last wed, we heard and saw both a Hooded warbler and a Prothonotary warbler within 50m of each other on the north trail in the Backus woods on conc 4 north of Port rowan.  Quite a sight!
Here is a shot of the Prothonotary eating a caterpillar.

The hooded was really elusive, always behind a leaf or 2.  Photo is good enough for ID purposes.

Good birding,
Terry

Very nice find!
How is the mosquito situation there, by the way?

Excellent if that's what you enjoy, I don't!  Actually, the road was fine but the trail was lousy with them.

Great shots Terry.  Another successful mission!
