Wilson's Warbler - Crabtree





Echoing Kent's post from earlier this morning, the number of warblers appeared
to have decreased at Lake Crabtree.  A quick visit at lunch did, however, reveal
a nice Wilson's Warbler (1st year male?).  Great views of the bird as I followed
it around for several minutes.  Fairly easy to distinguish from the similar
female or immature male Hooded by the lack of white tail spots, pumping or
cocked instead of flicking of the tail, smaller size and much more "dainty"
appearance.
The bird was in low thickets immediately adjacent to the boat rental shack.

Best,
