Re: B&W Warbler, Waxwings at Mason Farm
> > Any information on BW Warbler breeding in the Triangle?
I think they're rare but regular breeders in the Triangle - rarer than
'Mountain' Solitary Vireos (the local breeding race is not blue-headed), but
more common than Cedar Waxwings. They've been reported about 6 of the last
25 summers.
Correction to the Chapel Hill spring count -- the total is 125 species, not
126. One observer reported 3 BWWA, which I looked up
(http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/manual/aspeclst.htm) and put down as Blue-
winged Warblers. Later, confirming by e-mail, I found out that she meant to
put down 3 Black-and-white Warblers (BAWW). Another reason not to use
GDBCs* unless absolutely necessary.
*gosh darned banding codes
