I thought after yesterday's rains and the front moving through that
this would be a great day to run nets, but things continue to be
dreadfully slow at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History
near York SC.
However, I did manage to capture and band a hatch-year female
Nashville Warbler--only the fourth of this species since 1982 and the
first since 1992.
The Nashville Warbler is an uncommon fall migrant in the Piedmont and
is among the half dozen or so "rare" warblers here at Hilton
Pond--i.e., a species with five or fewer captures ( see
http://www.hiltonpond.org/Tab01SpeciesBandedHP.html ).
I'll post a picture of today's Nashville Warbler to an upcoming
edition of "This Week at Hilton Pond."
Happy Birding!
