Title: Backyard firsts today
Post by: winz on May 15, 2016, 02:49:07 PM

Had 2 backyard firsts today.

First Indigo Bunting and first warbler .. a Magnolia Warbler, photo in the Bird ID section.

Here's a photo of the Indigo Bunting, taken through the window.

I have tried Riverwood in the past for Indigo Bunting, without luck.  I saw my first Ontario Indigo Bunting last week at Indian Summer Trail Park.

I saw Magnolia Warbler at Lake Wabukayne on Sunday morning, along with a few other warblers.  I also had Canada Warbler there last Monday.  Have you been there lately?

I haven't been down to Lake Wabukayne for ages ... maybe this weekend, nice weather and temperatures forecasted!   :)
