Nashvile Warbler



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!
