Warbler Chip Note
Well yeah!!!

Well yeah!!!

Found and error in previous post on Warbler migration. Nashville is a Circum-gulf migrant, which makes sense for what was already cluttering my head
Love it when it’s quiet enough to hear the snap of warbler bills. The “snap” may be the warblers popping open elm seeds, as it sounds particularly loud these days. Update: I now believe the snap I hear is the warbler bill coming together on an insect. Not seeds popping. I knew y’all were waiting…
and a few more.
Here’s a few other recent birds from Montana and Wyoming. (the 1 day in my life we planned to go to Yellowstone — floods, evacuation and closure)
Migration is happening!! Tons of yellow warblers and gnatcatchers at Hornsby and a few others sprinkled in like Clay-colored Sparrow and a Flycatcher someone can ID. Also 14 species of shorebirds including Avocets and Semipalm Plovers.
Here’s a few denizens and scenes from the Davis mnts. this week. The warbler was our 70th species for the cabin!
